3.2 Whakapiki
Whakamaua te waeine GPS ki tētahi wāhi mārama view of the sky, away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference such as video transmitters (VTX) or receiver antennas. This helps ensure optimal satellite signal reception and compass accuracy.
3.3 Whirihoranga Tuatahi
After physical installation, connect your flight controller to its configuration software (e.g., Betaflight, iNav). You will need to:
- Enable GPS and select the correct UART port.
- Configure the GPS protocol (typically UBLOX or NMEA).
- Enable the magnetometer (compass) and select the correct I2C address and orientation. Calibration of the compass is crucial for accurate heading.
4. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
4.1 GPS Fix Acquisition
Upon powering on your aircraft, the GPS module will begin searching for satellites. A 'fix' is achieved when enough satellites are locked to provide accurate position data. This module is designed for fast acquisition, often achieving a lock within minutes under clear sky conditions.
4.2 Tohu LED
The HGLRC M100 Pro GPS module features onboard LED indicators to communicate its status:

- Power (Red LED): Indicates the module is receiving power. It should be continuously bright.
- PPS (Blue LED): Indicates GPS position accuracy. It will flicker when a real position fix is achieved.
5. Tiaki
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your HGLRC M100 Pro GPS module:
- Kia noho ma te kōwae me te kore o te puehu me te para.
- A ape i te tuku i te kōwae ki te tino mahana me te makuku.
- Regularly check wiring connections for secure fit and any signs of damage.
- Ensure the module is securely mounted to prevent vibrations from affecting performance.
6. Te Raru
- Slow GPS Fix / No Fix:
- Me whakarite kia mārama, kia kore he arai o te kōwae view o te rangi.
- Verify that the module is mounted away from other electronic components that may cause interference (e.g., VTX, high-current wires).
- Check wiring connections for continuity and correct pin assignment.
- Confirm flight controller software settings for GPS are correct.
- Inaccurate Compass Readings:
- Perform a compass calibration in your flight controller software.
- Ensure the module is mounted as far as possible from power wires, motors, and ESCs to minimize magnetic interference.
- Verify the compass orientation setting in the flight controller software matches the physical orientation of the module.
- Nga Take Tuhono:
- Handle connectors with care during installation and removal to prevent damage.
- Ensure the connector is fully seated and locked into place.
