Description
The Compass Module 3-Axis HMC5883L is a low-field magnetic sensing device with a digital interface. The compass module converts any magnetic field to a differential voltage output on 3 axes. This voltage shift is the raw digital output value, which can then be used to calculate headings or sense magnetic fields coming from different directions. The module is designed for use with a large variety of micro-controllers with different voltage requirements.
Application Ideas:
Auto and personal navigation
UAV systems
Robotic navigation
Location-based services (LBS)
