This sensor tends to be paired with a 6-DoF (degree of freedom) accelerometer\/gyroscope to create a 9-DoF inertial measurement unit that can detect its orientation in real-space thanks to Earth's stable magnetic field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdafruit based this breakout on the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.qstcorp.com\/en_comp_prod\/QMC5883P\"\u003eQMC5883P\u003c\/a\u003e, a magnetometer we see used in may Quadcopter and robotic builds. This compact sensor uses I2C to communicate, and it's very easy to use. Simply download their library and connect the SCL pin to your I2C clock pin, and SDA pin to your I2C data pin and upload our test program to read out magnetic field data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sensor can sense ranges from +-2 Gauss (+- 200 uTesla) up to +-30 gauss (+- 3000 uT or 3.0 mT). With 16-bit ADC and settings for over-sampling and down-sampling, you can set it up to get just the right range and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make life easier so you can focus on your important work, Adafruit have taken the QMC5883P and put it onto a breakout PCB along with support circuitry to let you use this little wonder with 3.3V (Feather\/Raspberry Pi) or 5V (Arduino\/ Metro328) logic levels. Additionally, since it speaks I2C you can easily connect it up with two wires (plus power and ground!).  We've even included \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sparkfun.com\/qwiic\"\u003eSparkFun qwiic\u003c\/a\u003e compatible\u003cstrong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/introducing-adafruit-stemma-qt\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSTEMMA QT\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e connectors for the I2C bus so \u003cstrong\u003eyou don't even need to solder!\u003c\/strong\u003e Just wire up to your favorite micro and you can use our CircuitPython\/Python or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/adafruit\/Adafruit_QMC5883P\"\u003eArduino drivers to easily interface with the QMC5883P\u003c\/a\u003e and get magnetic measurements ASAP. \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"\/en-us\/products\/jst-sh-cable-qwiic-stemma-qt-compatible\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQT Cable is not included\u003c\/strong\u003e, but we have a variety in the shop\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's fully assembled and tested.  Comes with a bit of 0.1\" standard header in case you want to use it with a breadboard or perfboard.  Four 2.5mm (0.1\") mounting holes for easy attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Dimensions: 25.4mm x 17.6mm x 4.7mm \/ 1.0\" x 0.7\" x 0.2\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Weight: 1.7g \/ 0.1oz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn-shop.adafruit.com\/product-files\/6388\/C2847467.pdf\"\u003eQMC5883P Datasheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg height=\"80\" width=\"145\" alt=\"RoHS 2 2011 65 EU Compliant\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adafruit.com\/includes\/templates\/shop2019\/images\/RoHS2_2011_65_EU.svg\"\u003e \u003cimg height=\"80\" width=\"145\" alt=\"RoHS 2 2015 863 EU Compliant\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adafruit.com\/includes\/templates\/shop2019\/images\/RoHS2_2015_863_EU.svg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLearn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-qmc5883p-triple-axis-magnetometer\"\u003ePrimary Guide: Adafruit QMC5883P - Triple Axis Magnetometer\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMagnetic fields are all around us\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/products\/6388\/guides\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSee All Guides\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57079726801269,"sku":"ADA6388","price":4.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/1025\/files\/6388-00.jpg?v=1776439290","url":"https:\/\/wholesale.pimoroni.com\/en-us\/products\/adafruit-qmc5883p-triple-axis-magnetometer-stemma-qt","provider":"Pimoroni Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
