Three-axis digital compass module with QMC5883L chip

The three-axis magnetic field sensor measures the Earth’s magnetic field accurately in three dimensions, giving precise heading and orientation data. The module reports the magnetic heading in real time, which makes it suitable for navigation, positioning and similar projects.

The electronic compass module is easy to use and to set up and can be built into a wide range of applications, including robotics, drones, industrial automation and consumer electronics. It works with a wide range of microcontrollers and development platforms such as Arduino and Raspberry, so it fits into any project.

• Communication with an external MCU/microcontroller: I2C
• Measuring range from ± 1.3 gauss to ± 8 gauss
• 12 bit A/D converter
• It carries two 4.7Kohm pull-up resistors on the chip SDA and SCL lines.
• It uses an internal 3.3V voltage regulator.
• Compatible with Arduino, Raspberry and similar boards.
