Das C ompass 4 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die das dreiachsige Magnetfeld messen kann und sich perfekt für die Implementierung in Anwendungen wie elektrischen Kompassen eignet. Diese Platine verfügt über AK09915, einen vollständigen 3-achsigen Magnetsensor mit Signalverarbeitung von AKM. Zum Abrufen der Sensormessdaten des Magnetfelds kann ein I2C- oder SPI-Protokoll verwendet werden. Das Hauptmerkmal des Sensors ist die Fähigkeit, Magnetfelder innerhalb des gesamten Skalenbereichs von ±4912 μT zu messen, mit einer Empfindlichkeit von 0,15 µT pro LSB, einer Auflösung von 16 Bit und einem integrierten Rauschunterdrückungsfilter (NSF), der eine hohe Messgenauigkeit für elektronische Kompassanwendungen ermöglicht. Dieses Click Board™ ist für Anwendungen wie einen elektrischen Kompass, Positionserfassung, allgemeine Magnetfeldmessung und mehr geeignet.
Das Compass 4 Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ ist ein gründlich getestetes Produkt und kann auf einem System verwendet werden, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The Compass 4 Click Board™ Work?
The Compass 4 Click Board™ is based on the AK09915, a complete 3-axis magnetic sensor with signal processing from AKM. The AK09915 incorporates magnetic sensors for detecting terrestrial magnetism in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis, a sensor driving circuit, signal amplifier chain, and an arithmetic circuit for processing the signal from each sensor. The output signal of each axis sensor is multiplexed, pre-amplified processed, and digitized by a 16-bit A/D converter (ADC). A three-axis magnetometer can be programmed to measure the magnetic component for each axis, within the full-scale range of ±4912 μT and sensitivity of 0.15 µT per LSB.
The AK09915 has an analog circuit, digital logic, and interface block integrated on a chip. It also supports nine different Operation Modes that can be chosen by setting the appropriate registers. When the Single Measurement Mode is set, the magnetic sensor measurement starts. After magnetic sensor measurement and signal processing is finished, measured magnetic data is stored in measurement data registers, and then the AK09915 transits to Power-Down Mode automatically. On transition to Power-Down Mode, Data Ready (DRDY) bit turns to "1". When any of the measurement data registers are read, the DRDY bit turns to "0". It remains "1" on the transition from Power-Down Mode to another Mode. Data Ready output pin of the AK09915 labeled as the DRY is routed to the INT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket. Besides Data Ready pin, the Compass 4 Click Board™ also has the Reset pin (RST), routed to the appropriate position on the mikroBUS™.
The Compass 4 Click Board™ provides the possibility of using both I2C and SPI interfaces with a maximum frequency of 2.5MHz for I2C and 4MHz for SPI communication. The selection can be performed by positioning SMD jumpers labeled as COMM SEL to an appropriate position. Note that all the jumpers must be placed to the same side, or else the Click board™ may become unresponsive. While the I2C interface is selected, the AK09915 allows the choice of the last two significant bits (LSB) of its I2C slave address. This can be done by using the SMD jumper labeled as ADDR SEL. Depending on the positions of each of the ADDR SEL jumpers, four different addresses can be set.
The Compass 4 Click Board™ is designed to be operated only with a 3.3V logic level. A proper logic voltage level conversion should be performed before the Click board™ is used with MCUs with different logic levels.

Software Support
We provide a library for the Compass 4 Click Board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
The library contains a basic functions for using Compass 4 click.
Key Functions
void compass4_configuration ( uint8_t cfg1, uint8_t cfg2 )- Configuration functionuint8_t compass4_get_axis ( compass4_axis_t *axis )- Gets XYZ Axis valueuint8_t compass4_get_magnetic_flux ( compass4_flux_t *flux )- Gets magnetic flux of XYZ axis value
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes I2C or SPI module and all necessary GPIO pins
- Application Initialization - Initializes driver inti, reset module, configuration module for measurement and cheeks communication with the module.
- Application Task - Reads magnetic flux or x, y, z-axis, and logs data to USB UART every 1 second.
- Note - SPI communication only works when the jumpers for the slave address are at GND.

char demo_text[ 20 ];
uint8_t err;
err = compass4_get_magnetic_flux( &flux );

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a USB UART Click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
MIKROSDK
The Compass 4 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
