Overview
Beitian BH-252Q is a GNSS precision module for FPV racing drone and fixed-wing installations, designed to output positioning data through a serial (UART/TTL) port. Please confirm whether UBX or NMEA protocol is required when purchasing; the module uses the UBX protocol by default.
For configuration help or order confirmation (protocol/model), contact support at https://rcdrone.top/ or email support@rcdrone.top.
Key Features
- Multi-satellite navigation support: GPS, GLONASS, BDS, GALILEO, IRNSS (also supports QZSS and SBAS as listed in specifications).
- Horizontal accuracy: 1.5 m CEP.
- Flash supported (built-in flash; configuration can be changed and is not lost in the event of power outage, as listed in the parameter table).
- Selectable output protocols: NMEA and UBX (UBX default per purchase note).
- Serial wiring reference: VCC/GND/TX/RX connection to USB-to-TTL adapter or microcontroller; 1PPS is shown in the wiring diagram.

Details



Multi-GNSS positioning with flash-backed settings helps keep configuration stable between power cycles.

A lightweight, compact footprint suits tight FPV drone stacks and fixed-wing fuselages while tracking multiple constellations.

Standard NMEA-0183 sentences make it easy to parse time, position, speed, and satellite information over UART.

Test data summarizes sensitivity and positioning performance, including 1.5 m CEP horizontal accuracy.


Clear pin wiring for VCC/GND/TX/RX plus 1PPS supports quick bench setup with a USB‑TTL adapter or direct flight controller UART.


The spec sheet and pin definition help confirm UART level, baud rate range, and the required VCC/GND/TX/RX connections.

Front/rear layout and dimensions make it easier to plan mounting and cable routing in compact airframes.


Included accessories cover basic installation: an adapter cable for wiring and 3M adhesive for mounting.
