The Compass 2 Click Board™ carries the AK8963 3-axis electronic compass. The AK8963 sensor is based on the Hall effect. The Click Board™ is designed to run on a 3.3V power supply only. It communicates with the target microcontroller through either the I2C or SPI interface, with additional functionality provided by the INT pin on the mikroBUS line.

AK8963 Features
The built-in ADC converter can be set up at either 14 or 16 bit resolution, for each of the 3 axes. The sensitivity is 0.6µT/LSB typ. at 14-bit, and 0.15µT/LSB at 16-bit.
AK8963 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.
