## Description

The Adafruit LIS3MDL is a triple-axis magnetometer (compass) breakout from ST, with selectable measurement ranges from ±4 gauss (±400 µT) up to ±16 gauss (±1600 µT). It's ideal for detecting magnetic north, measuring magnetic fields, or pairing with an accelerometer/gyroscope like the LSM6DSOX to create a full 9-DoF inertial measurement unit. The breakout board includes voltage regulation and level shifting for compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers. STEMMA QT / Qwiic connectors provide solderless I2C connections, and the sensor also supports SPI. Arduino and CircuitPython/Python libraries are available for quick setup. Key Features Selectable Range – ±4, ±8, ±12, or ±16 gauss full-scale measurement range Triple-Axis Sensing – Measures magnetic field strength on X, Y, and Z axes Up to 1000 Hz Output – 155 Hz at ultra-high precision, or up to 1000 Hz with slightly reduced precision I2C and SPI Interfaces – Flexible connectivity options 3.3V and 5V Compatible – Onboard voltage regulator and level shifting STEMMA QT / Qwiic Compatible – Solderless I2C connectors for plug-and-play setup and daisy-chaining Four Mounting Holes – 2.5mm (0.1") for secure attachment Ideal For Digital compass and heading applications 9-DoF IMU when paired with the LSM6DSOX accelerometer/gyroscope Magnetic field measurement and detection Robotics and navigation systems Package Contents 1× Adafruit LIS3MDL Triple-Axis Magnetometer Breakout (assembled and tested) 1× 0.1" header strip Note: A STEMMA QT / Qwiic cable is required for solderless connection and is not included.
