Review on 🌍 BN-880 GPS Module U8 with Flash HMC5883 Compass + Active Antenna - Car Navigation for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Pixhawk, and APM Flight Controller by Mark Morrow

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Delivered as expected.

Works as expected. There are a few things. First, the wiring harness is not configured for my controller. It's too small (1.0 pitch) to remake the JST connector, so I had to remove the connector and solder directly to the board. It's easier than trying to recreate JST connectors, but still difficult. The second problem is that the GPS can take several minutes to acquire enough satellites for the first time of the day. After that, it can take 30 seconds each time. That's a little longer than expected.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Available in white only
