Product description: 3-axis magnetometer - TLV493D - STEMMA QT / Qwiic - Adafruit 4366
3-axis magnetometer manufactured by Adafruit and equipped with an efficient TLV493D system. The maximum data transfer rate is up to 1 Mb/s . The module is used when detecting elements with attached magnets or when building a joystick. Unfortunately, it is not sensitive enough to be used as a compass or to detect the Earth's magnetic field. The maximum data transfer rate is up to 1 Mb/s and the resolution is 12-bit .
Product compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi !
The manufacturer has also prepared a detailed user guide that will help you start working with the module. Check!
