This sensor tends to be paired with a 6-DoF (degree of freedom) accelerometer\/gyroscope to create a 9-DoF inertial measurement unit that can detect its orientation in real-space thanks to Earth's stable magnetic field. \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-lsm6dsox-6-dof-accelerometer-and-gyroscope-stemma-qt-qwiic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eIt's a great match for the LSM6DSOX from ST!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdafruit based this breakout on ST's LIS3MDL, a great general purpose magnetometer. This compact sensor uses I2C to communicate and its very easy to use. Simply download the library and connect the SCL pin to your I2C clock pin, and SDA pin to your I2C data pin and upload the test program to read out magnetic field data. If you'd like, you can also use SPI to receive data (we just happen to prefer I2C here)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sensor can sense ranges from +-4 gauss (+- 400 uTesla) up to +-16 gauss (+- 16uTesla). For ultra high precision, 155 Hz update rate is recommended - but if you don't mind a little loss of precision, the sensor can output at 1000 Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make life easier so you can focus on your important work, we've taken the LIS3MDL and put it onto a breakout PCB along with support circuitry to let you use this little wonder with 3.3V (Feather\/Raspberry Pi) or 5V (Arduino\/ Metro328) logic levels. Additionally since it speaks I2C you can easily connect it up with two wires (plus power and ground!).  Adafruit have even included \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sparkfun.com\/qwiic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eSparkFun qwiic\u003c\/a\u003e compatible\u003cstrong\u003e \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/introducing-adafruit-stemma-qt\"\u003eSTEMMA QT\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e connectors for the I2C bus so \u003cstrong\u003eyou don't even need to solder!\u003c\/strong\u003e Just wire up to your favorite micro and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/adafruit\/Adafruit_CircuitPython_LIS2MDL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eyou can use our CircuitPython\/Python\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/adafruit\/Adafruit_LIS3MDL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eArduino drivers to easily interface with the LIS3MDL\u003c\/a\u003e and get magnetic measurements ASAP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's fully assembled and tested.  Comes with a bit of 0.1\" standard header in case you want to use it with a breadboard or perfboard.  Four 2.5mm (0.1\") mounting holes for easy attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTECHNICAL DETAILS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI2C address 0x1C or 0x1E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e±4\/±8\/±12\/16 gauss selectable magnetic full\u003cbr\u003escales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.625 to 1000 Hz update rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous and single-conversion modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-bit data output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterrupt generator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-test mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Dimensions: 25.7mm x 17.8mm x 4.6mm \/ 1.0\" x 0.7\" x 0.2\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Weight: 1.5g \/ 0.1oz\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31415194910803,"sku":"ADA4479","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/products\/4479-00.jpg?v=1579623802","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-triple-axis-magnetometer-lis3mdl-stemma-qt-qwiic","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
