Adafruit Triple-axis Magnetometer – MMC5603

The Adafruit Triple-axis Magnetometer – MMC5603 is a compact sensor designed to measure magnetic fields along three axes. It offers a wide range of ±30 Gauss with 20-bit resolution and a high frequency response of up to 1000 Hz. The sensor uses I2C for easy integration with 3.3V and 5V logic level microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. With on-chip features like degaussing, sensitivity compensation, and a temperature sensor, this magnetometer is perfect for detecting Earth’s magnetic field, compass heading, and basic magnetic measurements. It’s ideal for creating motion tracking systems with 6-DoF accelerometer/gyroscope setups.

Features:

1. Range: ±30 Gauss , suitable for detecting Earth’s magnetic field and basic magnets.
2. Resolution: 20-bit output with a high frequency response up to 1000 Hz.
3. Interface: I2C for easy integration with microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or Feather. It also supports SPI.
4. Built-in Features: On-chip automatic degaussing, sensitivity compensation, and temperature sensor.
5. Compact Design: Ultra-small package (0.8×0.8×0.4 mm), fully assembled with STEMMA QT connectors for solderless connection.
6. Power Compatibility: Works with both 3.3V and 5V logic levels.
