HMC5883 3-Axis Compass SKU：MD0560
Description
This is a 3-Axis Compass using the low-cost but three-axis HMC5883 from Honeywell, allowing us to offer our module at a very nice price point compared with other electronic compass options. The chip is a 3.3V chip but we’ve included a regulator and level shifting for the I2C signals so the module will work with microcontrollers running at any voltage between 3 and 6 volts – perfect for Arduinos, BBBs and JeeNodes. We’ve even included a JeeNode header port for users who wish to use the board with their JeeNodes. There is a JeeNode example posted below, as well as Arduino code.
The z-axis is not addressed in the code yet, but we hope to make a combination compass and accelerometer board that achieves a true tilt-free compass. Until then, this is a great option with much less sensitivity to tilt than dual axis compasses.
