Triple Axis Magnetometer Breakout - MLX90393

Description

It’s time to start utilizing the superior magnetometer, and what better way than to throw it onto an easy-to-use breakout board? The SparkFun MLX90393 Magnetometer Breakout is a triple-axis magnetic sensor board capable of sensing very small fields, while still behaving as one would expect during saturation in larger fields (like a nearby magnet). The MLX90393 breakout can be used as a compass sensor but also works well as a non-contact controller, a flow meter with a magnetic impeller, or a linear actuator position sensor. To make it even easier to to get your readings, all communication is enacted exclusively via I 2 C, utilizing our handy Qwiic system. However, we still have broken out 0.1"-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard. The MLX90393 features a resolution rate of 0.161µT with an operating voltage range of 2.2V to 3.6V at 100µA. This breakout is also equipped with a couple of jumper pads on the back of the board, a set that allows you to change the I 2 C address as well as one that can put the breakout into SPI mode (if I 2 C isn’t your cup of tea). FEATURES Operating Voltage: 2.2V-3.6V Current Consumption: 100µA (Typ.) Operating Temperature: -20°C - 85°C Resolution: 0.161µT Max Full Scale Resolution: 44,000µT I 2 C Address: 0xC0 2x Qwiic Connection Ports DOCUMENTS Schematic Eagle Files Hookup Guide Datasheet (MLX90393) Arduino Library (Special thanks to Ted Yapo!)
