Compass Click is an add-on board in the mikroBUS form factor. It features the LSM303DLHC ultra-compact high-performance e-compass 3-axis magnetometer and 3-axis accelerometer module. It includes a specific sensing element and an IC interface capable of measuring both linear acceleration (full-scale of ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g) and magnetic field (from ±1.3 to ±8.1 gauss full-scale), both in 3 dimensions, and provides a 16-bit data output through an I2C interface. By combining both a compass and an accelerometer in the same chip, magnetic north can be determined regardless of unit orientation. Readings received from the IC can be processed and used to determine earth's magnetic north pole. The board is designed to use a 3.3V power supply only. All these features make this board ideal for compensated compass, position detection, map rotation, pedometer, display orientation and many more applications. |
