Das Compass 7 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die sich perfekt für Anwendungen wie einen elektronischen Kompass eignet. Diese Platine verfügt über den MMC5633NJL, einen monolithischen vollständigen 3-Achsen-AMR-Magnetsensor mit integrierter Signalverarbeitung und einem integrierten digitalen Bus von MEMSIC. Es kann Magnetfelder im gesamten Skalenbereich von ±30 Gauss (G) mit bis zu 0,0625 mG pro LSB-Auflösung im 20-Bit-Betriebsmodus und 2 mG RMS-Gesamtrauschpegel messen und ermöglicht so eine Kursgenauigkeit von ±1º in elektronischen Kompassanwendungen. Außerdem eliminiert eine integrierte SET/RESET-Funktion durch thermische Schwankungen verursachte Offsetfehler (Nullfeldausgabe) und löscht die Restmagnetisierung, die durch starke externe Felder entsteht. Dieses Click Board™ eignet sich, wie bereits erwähnt, als elektronischer Kompass, kann aber auch in verschiedenen Anwendungen zur Positionserfassung verwendet werden.
Das Compass 7 Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The Compass 7 Click Board™ Work?
The Compass 7 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the MMC5633NJL, a monolithic high-performance 3-axis AMR magnetic sensor from MEMSIC. It has an integrated drive circuit, signal processing circuit, and serial interface block, allowing low noise and high resolution. It can measure magnetic fields within the full-scale range of ±30 Gauss (G) with up to 0.0625mG per LSB resolution at 20bits operation mode and 2mG total RMS noise level, enabling heading accuracy of ±1º in electronic compass applications.
An integrated SET/RESET function eliminates errors due to Null Field output change with temperature. In addition, it clears the sensors of any residual magnetic polarization resulting from exposure to strong external magnets. The SET/RESET function can be performed periodically for each measurement as the specific application requires.
The Compass 7 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface with a maximum clock frequency of 400kHz, fully adjustable through software registers. The MMC5633NJL does not require a specific Power-Up sequence but requires a voltage of 1.8V for its interface and logic part to work correctly. Therefore, a small regulating LDO is used, the MAX8511, providing a 1.8V out of mikroBUS™ power rails. Since the sensor for operation requires a power supply of 1.8V, this Click board™ also features the PCA9306 voltage-level translator allowing the MMC5633NJL to work with 3.3V and 5V MCU properly.
The Compass 7 Click Board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
