{"title":"Adafruit QMC5883P Triple-Axis Magnetometer","handle":"adafruit-qmc5883p-triple-axis-magnetometer","url":"/products/adafruit-qmc5883p-triple-axis-magnetometer","description":"This compact breakout makes it easy to measure magnetic fields in three axes for compass, navigation and orientation projects. It is built around the QMC5883P, a magnetometer commonly used in quadcopter and robotics designs, and it can be paired with a 6-DoF accelerometer/gyroscope to help build a 9-DoF inertial measurement unit that uses Earth’s magnetic field for heading and orientation.Communication is over I2C, so wiring is straightforward: connect SCL and SDA to your microcontroller and use the supplied software support to start reading magnetic field data. Adafruit provides Arduino drivers as well as CircuitPython/Python support, making it a handy fit for Feather, Raspberry Pi, Arduino and similar platforms.The sensor can measure from +-2 Gauss (+- 200 uTesla) up to +-30 gauss (+- 3000 uT or 3.0 mT). With a 16-bit ADC plus over-sampling and down-sampling settings, you can tune the balance between range and precision to suit your application.To simplify integration, the breakout includes support circuitry for both 3.3V and 5V logic levels and uses I2C throughout. It also includes SparkFun qwiic compatible STEMMA QT connectors for quick, solder-free connection to the I2C bus. The board comes fully assembled and tested, includes a strip of 0.1\" header for breadboard or perfboard use, and has four 2.5mm (0.1\") mounting holes for easy attachment. QT cable is not included.Specifications:Product Dimensions: 25.4mm x 17.6mm x 4.7mm / 1.0\" x 0.7\" x 0.2\"Product Weight: 1.7g / 0.1ozA good choice for compasses, robots, quadcopters and other motion-aware builds that need an easy-to-use I2C magnetometer breakout.","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"Magnetometer Breakout Board","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":15537,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-6388","mpn":"ADA6388","price":14.2,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":36}]}
