GY-273 HMC5883L Module Triple Axis Compass Magnetometer Sensor 3V-5V

The GY-273 module is based on the Honeywell HMC5883L IC for low-field magnetic sensing with a digital interface for applications such as lowcost compassing and magnetometry. The HMC5883L includes state-of-theart, high-resolution HMC118X series magneto-resistive sensors plus an ASIC containing amplification, automatic degaussing strap drivers, offset cancellation,
and a 12-bit ADC that enables 1° to 2° compass heading accuracy. The I2C serial bus allows for easy interface.

The HMC5883L utilizes Honeywell’s Anisotropic Magnetoresistive (AMR) technology that provides advantages over other
magnetic sensor technologies. These anisotropic, directional sensors feature precision in-axis sensitivity and linearity.
These sensors’ solid-state construction with very low cross-axis sensitivity is designed to measure both the direction and
the magnitude of Earth’s magnetic fields, from milli-gauss to 8 gauss. Honeywell’s Magnetic Sensors are among the most
sensitive and reliable low-field sensors in the industry.

This is an example of how to use the Hobby Components GY-273 module (HCMODU0036) which
uses a Honeywell HMC5883L 3-Axis Digital Compass IC. The IC uses an I2C interface to
communicate which is compatible with the standard Arduino Wire library.

This example demonstrates how to initialise and read the module in single shot
measurement mode. It will continually trigger single measurements and output the
results for the 3 axis to the serial port.
