SparkFun Triple Axis Magnetometer Breakout - MLX90393
(Qwiic)
SEN-14571 ROHS OpenSourceHardware
It’s time to start utilizing the superior magnetometer, and what better way than to throw it onto an
easy-to-use breakout board? The SparkFun MLX90393 Magnetometer Breakout is a triple-axis
magnetic sensor board capable of sensing very small fields (like the Earth’s magnetic field), while
still behaving as one would expect during saturation in larger fields (like a nearby magnet). The
MLX90393 breakout can be used as a compass sensor but also works well as a non-contact
controller, a flow meter with a magnetic impeller, or a linear actuator position sensor. To make it
even easier to to get your readings, all communication is enacted exclusively via I
2
C, utilizing our
handy Qwiic system. However, we still have broken out 0.1"-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a
breadboard.
The MLX90393 features a resolution rate of 0.161µT with an operating voltage range of 2.2V to 3.6V
at 100µA. This breakout is also equipped with a couple of jumper pads on the back of the board, a
set that allows you to change the I
2
C address as well as one that can put the breakout into SPI mode
(if I
2
C isn’t your cup of tea).
