| SparkFun Triple Axis Magnetometer - MMC5983MA (Qwiic) (SPX-19034) | SparkFun Qwiic Micro Magnetometer - MMC5983MA (SEN-19921) |
Both of these sensors use the MMC5983MA from MEMSIC - a highly sensitive triple axis magnetometer capable of sensing down to 0.4mG, enabling a heading accuracy of ±0.5°. Output rates of 1000Hz, ±8G FSR, and 18-bit resolution make the MMC5983MA a phenomenal magnetic sensor for electronic compass applications.
Saturation is a problem for all mag sensors. The MMC5983MA has special built-in degaussing circuitry to clear any residual magnetization.
