Synchronous Communication Protocol
The HMR3200/HMR3300 module controls the synchronous clock (SCK) and synchronous data output (SDO) pins and the
host controller controls synchronous data input (SDI) and chip select (CS) pins. The host controller shall lower the HMR
module’s CS pin for at least 20 microseconds to initiate the SPI communication. In response the HMR module will send
the ASCII bit pattern for 's', and the host shall transmit a valid command character simultaneously. The HMR module will
evaluate the command character received from the host controller and send the appropriate data if the command is
recognized and valid. After transmitting the required data, the HMR module will end the SPI session. If the command is
invalid or was not recognized, then the HMR module will transmit ASCII bit pattern for 'e' and end the SPI session.
SPI Commands
Heading Output: In response to an ASCII H or h command, the HMR3200/HMR3300 shall send two bytes of data. The
MSByte is transmitted first. These two bytes represent the integer value equal to 10*Heading. The MSbit is transmitted
first for each byte. SCK shall be high for 16, and low for 22 microseconds, respectively. There is a 50 microsecond delay
between consecutive bytes transmitted.
Command Character Action SPI Data Output Parameter Value
H or h Sends heading data 0000 to 3599 Heading: 000.0 to 359.9

COMPASS DEMONSTRATION KIT
The HMR3200 or HMR3300 Demo kit includes additional hardware and Windows software to form a development kit for
electronic compassing. This kit includes the HMR3200 orHMR3300 Printed Circuit Board (PCB) module as a daughter
board, a TTL to RS-232 motherboard with a D9 serial port connector, 6’ serial port cable with attached AC adapter power
supply, and a Windows demo software CD with documentation. The cable is a 4-wire design with pins 2 and 3 NOT
flipped (DTE to DCE, not null modem) with pin 5 as the ground reference. Pin 9 is the unregulated positive voltage
reference and is factory connected to the AC adapter. Either cable side may be used for the compass demo kit or
computer serial port.
The AC adapter is a universal type and factory set for 120 VAC input, 9 volt DC output, and positive polarity. Users can
rewire the cable for battery operation for remote usage. Batteries chosen must apply the required 6 to 15 volt supply
range with at least 24mA current capability. If compact 9 volt batteries are used, it is recommended that two batteries of
the same chemistry be wired in parallel to have reasonable operational life.
The TTL to RS-232 motherboard is designed to handle only unregulated power supply voltages and routes the supply
directly to the V+ pin of the HMR3200 or HMR3300 daughterboard. The electronics on the motherboard convert the RX
and TX 5 volt logic to the ±6 volt RS-232 drive logic for computer serial ports.
