CMPS12 Tilt-Compensated Compass with BNO055 Chip

Imagine navigating through dense forests or sprawling urban landscapes with the digital precision of an experienced explorer. The CMPS12 tilt-compensated compass transforms direction-finding into an effortless task, leveraging cutting-edge technology housed in a compact module. It integrates a 3-axis magnetometer, gyro, and accelerometer, each working harmoniously to deliver unparalleled accuracy. Whether you're hiking, boating, or embarked on an adventure that demands precise orientation, this compass is engineered to maintain its accuracy, even when tilted.

At its core, the BNO055 chip operates sophisticated algorithms to counteract the errors caused by the movement and tilt of the PCB. This ensures that your compass readings are reliable and consistent, removing the guesswork from navigation. With flexible power supply options ranging from 3.3 to 5 volts, it draws a mere 18mA, making it highly efficient for sustained applications. Its dual communication interfaces, serial and I2C, cater to varied technical requirements, providing seamless integration with your setups.

The CMPS12 offers a plethora of output options, each designed to cater to different levels of detail required by its user. From a refined 16-bit heading designed by Bosch, alongside a simplified version crafted in-house, to options that scale down to 8 bits for straightforward tasks. Additionally, the module provides pitch and roll measurements spanning a full 0-90° or an expansive 0-180°, not to mention the real-time temperature readouts of the BNO055. Assigning sensor data is straightforward, with raw outputs in 16-bit for the magnetometer, accelerometer, and gyro. There's a versatility as well in its operation modes, easily selectable via the mode pin, ensuring an adaptable performance that's ready at the moment of power-up.
