Adafruit Triple-axis Magnetometer - MMC5603

Sensing magnetic fields is made easy with this triple-axis magnetometer module. Capable of detecting the strongest magnetic forces, it's typically used to find magnetic north but is versatile enough for measuring other magnetic fields as well.

This device, ideal for pairing with a 6-DoF accelerometer/gyroscope, creates a 9-DoF inertial measurement unit, accurately determining its orientation using Earth's stable magnetic field. Featuring the MMC5603, this magnetometer provides a broad range and an I2C interface.

For ease of use, the breakout board offers support circuitry compatible with 3.3V or 5V logic levels, making it suitable for use with devices like Feather, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, or Metro328. Connect effortlessly by using the I2C bus with SparkFun qwiic compatible STEMMA QT connectors, eliminating the need for soldering.

The sensor features a range from ±30 Gauss with 20-bit output at up to 1000 Hz, making it perfect for reading Earth's magnetic field or basic magnets. It includes standard 0.1" header for breadboard use and four 2.5mm mounting holes for easy integration into projects.
