The Compass Click Board™ is an add-on board in the mikroBUS form factor. It features the LSM303DLHC ultra-compact high-performance e-compass module. It includes a specific sensing element and an IC interface capable of measuring both linear acceleration (full-scale of ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g) and magnetic field (From ±1.3 to ±8.1 gauss full-scale) and provides a 16-bit data output through the I2C interface. Readings received from the IC can be processed and used to determine the earth’s magnetic north pole.
The Compass Click Board™ is designed to use a 3.3V power supply only. All these features make this board ideal for compensated compass, position detection, map rotation, pedometer, display orientation and many more.
