TuneRC Magnetomter and Barometer
Add full navigation capabilities to your FPV drone with this compact and lightweight Magnetometer and Barometer module from TuneRC. This is the perfect solution for pilots who have a GPS module but are missing the crucial compass and altitude data needed for advanced flight modes. As an essential drone part for long-range and autonomous flight, this module integrates seamlessly into your existing build.
Upgrade Your Existing GPS Setup
Many GPS units only provide location data. This handy module allows you to add the two missing sensors—a barometer for altitude and a magnetometer for heading—without needing to replace your entire GPS puck. It’s a smart, cost-effective way to unlock the full potential of navigation-based flight firmware like iNAV on your FPV drone.
Unlock Advanced Navigation Features
By adding this module to your FPV drone kit, you enable key features for more reliable autonomous flight:
- Barometer (BMP280): Provides accurate altitude data, which is critical for a stable altitude hold and a more precise return-to-home (RTH) function.
- Magnetometer (QMC5883L): Acts as a compass, giving your FPV drone a true sense of direction. This is vital for accurate position hold, waypoints, and ensuring a correct heading on takeoff.
Simple I2C Connection
This module is incredibly easy to install on any flight controller that features available I2C pads (SCL/SDA). Its tiny 12x18mm footprint and sub-1-gram weight mean it can be added to almost any FPV drone build without impacting flight performance or taking up valuable space.
