Thanks to the u-blox Super-S technology, the module offers improved RF sensitivity with small antennas and in non-line-of-sight scenarios. SparkFun have included an SMA connector for a sturdy connection when attaching an external antenna. The board is also equipped with an on-board rechargeable battery that provides backup power to the module's RTC. This reduces the time-to-first fix from a cold start (~24s) to a hot start (~1s). The battery will maintain RTC and GNSS orbit data without being connected to power for up to five hours. This increases precision and decreases lock time in battery operated devices without compromising GNSS performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, this u-blox receiver supports I2C which makes it perfect for Qwiic compatibility so we don't have to use up our precious UART ports. Utilizing the handy Qwiic system, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, SparkFun still broke out 0.1\"-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard. For users that prefer to communicate over UART, they made sure to configure the UART pin grouping to an industry standard to ensure that it easily connects to a \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/sparkfun-serial-basic-breakout-ch340c-and-usb-c\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSerial Basic.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eU-blox based GNSS products are configurable using the popular Windows program called u-center. Plenty of different functions can be configured on the MAX-M10S: baud rates, update rates, spoofing detection, external interrupts, etc. SparkFun have also written \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/sparkfun\/SparkFun_u-blox_GNSS_Arduino_Library\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ean extensive Arduino library for u-blox modules\u003c\/a\u003e to make reading and controlling the MAX-M10S over the Qwiic Connect System easy. Leave NMEA behind! Start using a much lighter weight binary interface and give your microcontroller (and its one serial port) a break. The SparkFun Arduino library shows how to read latitude, longitude, even heading and speed over I2C without the need for constant serial polling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e The I2C address of the MAX-M10S is 0x42 and is software configurable.
