Description
16-bitsensor formeasuring the magnetic field of a wide range in the three axes X, Y, Z in the range of ± 5 MT up to ± 50 mT. It communicates throughthe I2C interface with an accuracy of < ± 1 %. The supply voltage isfrom 3.3 V to 5 V. It is characterized bysmall size, low energy consumptionandsimplicity.
The product is compatible withArduino Manufacturer has preparedthe user's guidefor Arduino and a library with a sample code. |
Thanks to the magnetometer of the wide range you can measure the magnetic field surrounding us. Compared to most of the magnetometer, the module from Adafruit hasa large range of action, making itan ideal tool for detection of magnets and magnetic orientation, not the Earth's magnetic field (the magnets has much stronger magnetic field, which suppresses most of the magnetometer)
Pins of the MLX90393 magnetometer
Name | Description |
---|---|
VIN |
Supply voltage from 3.3 V to 5 V. |
3V0 |
It is the OUTPUT of the 3.3 V regulator and it can be used to ensure the power supply of 3.3 V to other parts of your project, if necessary (<100mA). |
GND | The ground of the system. |
SCL | Clock line of the I2C / SPI bus |
SDA | The data line of the I2C / SPI bus |
INT | External interrupts - details in the documentation. |
A0 and A1 | Connectors, allowing you to change the I2C bus addresses. |
CS (AKA SENB) | The choice of SPI bus (chip select). By default, it is pulled up to the VDD voltage which means that the device is set to work with I2C bus. |
TR (AKA INT/TRG) | The external interrupt (optional). |
MIS (AKA TRIG) | MISO on the SPI bus, the SPI is not used on the breaboard, it is used for testing purposes. |
G | Additional ground of the system. The connection is not required. |
