Frequently Asked Questions

What is HMC5883L used for?
HMC5883L is a 3-axis digital compass used for two general purposes: to measure the magnetization of a magnetic material like a ferromagnet or to measure the strength and, in some cases, the direction of the magnetic field at a point in space.
HMC5883L is a 3-axis digital compass used for two general purposes: to measure the magnetization of a magnetic material like a ferromagnet, or to measure the strength and, in some cases, the direction of the magnetic field at a point in space.
This is the basic working principle of the magnetometer. HMC5883L uses a magnetoresistive sensor arranged in a bridge circuit, which is made of nickel-iron (Ni-Fe magnetic film) material. This change in voltages is used to get the magnetic field direction in space.
