Mikroe Compass 5 Click

Mikroe Compass 5 Click has a 3-axis magnetometer device suitable for compass applications. The board features the AKM Semiconductor AK09918C 3-axis electronic compass with high sensitive Hall sensor technology. The board is an I2C configurable compass, incorporates magnetic sensors for detecting terrestrial magnetism in the X, Y, and Z-axis. It’s equipped with a magnetic overflow monitor function, a sensor driving circuit, signal amplifier chain, self-test function, and an arithmetic circuit for processing the signal from the sensor. The board is suitable for map heading-up purposes to realize the pedestrian navigation function.
