HMC5883L 3 Axis Magnetic Compass, Digital Output for Arduino
Stock Number: 31585 MP
Detailed Description
Arduino 3 Axis Digital Compass Module
A 3 axis (XYZ) digital compass/magnetometer using Honeywell’s HMC5583L sensor. Can detect magnetic fields from +to - 8 Gauss, with milli-gauss resolution. As a compass, you can expect a 1-2 degree heading accuracy. Fast, up to 160 readings per second are possible. As a magnetometer can detect large masses of ferrous metals (iron), small magnets, electromagnetic fields, even currents in wires. Interface is standard I2C, the module has built-in pull up resistors on the SDA and SCL lines. On board 3.3 volt regulator allows use on 3.3 or 5 Volt micro controllers. Wide uses in navigation, robotics, RC models, science, even as a driveway automobile detector alarm. Information & Freeware available through www. arduino.cc.en and others on-line.
