Key Features
- True 3-Axis Magnetometer: Measures Earth's magnetic field across X, Y, and Z axes for full 360 degrees compass heading calculation
- High Precision: 12-bit ADC with up to 5 milli-Gauss resolution delivers heading accuracy within 1 degrees-2 degrees under ideal conditions
- Simple I2C Interface: Only requires SDA and SCL connections - just two data wires to your microcontroller
- Wide Voltage Compatibility: Onboard regulator accepts 3.3V to 5V, making it plug-and-play with both 3.3V and 5V logic boards
- Low Power Consumption: Draws approximately 2 mA during active measurement, ideal for battery-powered and portable applications
- Configurable Data Rate: Choose output rates from 0.75 Hz to 75 Hz depending on your application's speed requirements
- Selectable Gain: Eight gain settings allow you to optimize sensitivity for different magnetic field environments
- Built-in Self-Test: Internal self-test feature enables you to verify sensor functionality during initialization
- Compact Form Factor: Tiny breakout board fits easily into drones, robots, wearables, and space-constrained enclosures
- Extensive Library Support: Works seamlessly with popular Arduino libraries (Adafruit HMC5883, QMC5883LCompass) and Python libraries for Raspberry Pi

- Tested and quality-checked before dispatch to ensure reliable out-of-the-box performance
- Trusted by thousands of engineers, students, and makers across India
How It Works
The HMC5883L module contains three magneto-resistive sensors aligned along the X, Y, and Z axes. These sensors detect the strength and direction of the surrounding magnetic field, including Earth's magnetic field. The onboard 12-bit analog-to-digital converter digitizes the readings and makes them available over the I2C bus. Your microcontroller reads the raw magnetic field values from the sensor's registers and then calculates the compass heading using the arctangent function: heading = atan2(Y, Z). With proper calibration to compensate for local magnetic interference (hard-iron and soft-iron distortion), the module delivers reliable directional data for navigation and orientation applications.
