BLEBRICK 3-axis magnetic sensor

3-axis magnetic sensor capable of measuring magnetic fields up to 30 Gauss (G).

SKU 7300-BLEBMAGItem type: Assembled, Shields & add-ons

Description

The Blebrick MAG is a 3-axis AMR (Anisotropic Magneto Resistive) magnetic field sensor with a wide dynamic range (±30 G) and low noise, with resolution below 1 mG, direction accuracy on the order of 1-2°, and “ultra low power” consumption characteristics.
Technical specifications
  • ODR – Output Data Rate: 75-255 Hz, configurable
  • 16-bit sensitivity: 1024 counts/G
Blebricks: instant prototyping for IoT, smart sensors and RFID

The Internet of Things is finally within everyone’s reach.

Blebricks are smart building blocks made with patented technology that lets you create new wireless electronic devices simply by assembling them together.

In fact, this technology lets you create devices even without any technical skills in electronics or programming. Prototyping is instant, which is why it appeals to anyone who wants to build their own device quickly and easily.

How does it work? Very simple

Each Blebrick performs a specific function. You can choose from a wide range of sensors, actuators, power devices and communication devices, such as: motion sensors, environmental sensors, CO2 sensors, infrared sensors and air quality sensors, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and LP-WAN communication devices, to name a few.

To add the features you want, simply snap the Blebricks together. They configure themselves automatically to work together, and your device’s prototype is ready right away!

You can view sensor data and interact with it (locally, with your smartphone) using our MakeApp for Android devices. Or, if you want to build a custom app, you can do so with MIT App Inventor.

Finally, you can interact with your Blebricks from anywhere, simply by connecting them to the Internet and logging into the Bricksboard portal.

Thanks to this highly innovative technology, you can cut development time and costs by over 90% when moving from idea to product. Moreover, being low-power, Blebricks are also suitable for developing battery-powered, portable or wearable devices.

The modular nature of Blebricks makes it possible to create a finished product that is cheaper and faster to build. Discover our Fast Route To Production.
