Description
This Compass Magnetic Field Sensor HMC5883L includes our state-of-the-art, high resolution HMC118X series magneto-resistive sensors plus an ASIC containing amplification, automatic degaussing strap drivers, offset cancellation, and a 12-bit ADC that enables 1° to 2° compass heading accuracy.
The HMC5883L is a 3-axis digital compass that uses I2C to communicate and its very easy to use. Simply connect VCC to 3 – 5V and ground to ground, then read data from the I2C clock and data pins. There’s also a Data Ready pin you can use to speed up reads (check the datasheet for details).
