Description

The COMPASS 7 CLICK leverages the MEMSIC MMC5633NJL monolithic sensor, which utilizes Anisotropic Magneto-Resistive (AMR) technology for precise magnetic field measurement. The integrated signal conditioning circuitry and serial interface block deliver low-noise, high-resolution data output, enabling heading accuracy suitable for electronic compass applications. An onboard automatic degaussing (SET/RESET) function periodically clears residual magnetic polarization and compensates for sensitivity changes due to temperature, ensuring long-term measurement stability.

The module communicates via a standard I2C 2-wire interface, configurable up to 400 kHz, and is designed for easy integration into mikroBUS ecosystems. Its flexible power design, accommodating both 3.3V and 5V logic levels via a VCC SEL Jumper, ensures compatibility with a wide range of microcontrollers and development boards, from Arduino and Raspberry Pi to industrial PLCs. The included software library provides a foundation for rapid application development.

Key Features

  • Monolithic 3-axis AMR magnetic sensor (MMC5633NJL) with integrated drive and signal processing.
  • Wide full-scale measurement range of ±30 Gauss with 20-bit resolution.
  • On-chip SET/RESET function for automatic degaussing and temperature error elimination.
  • Low power consumption and superior dynamic range for battery-operated devices.
  • On-chip sensitivity compensation and integrated temperature sensor.
  • I2C serial interface with software-adjustable parameters and up to 400kHz clock frequency.
  • Dual-voltage operation (3.3V or 5V) selectable via onboard Jumper for broad MCU compatibility.
  • mikroBUS standard form factor (28.6 x 25.4 mm) for plug-and-play expansion.

Applications

  • Electronic compass and heading reference for drones, robotics, and autonomous navigation systems.
  • Precise position and orientation sensing in industrial equipment and virtual reality (VR) controllers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the COMPASS 7 CLICK?

The module's logic level can be set to either 3.3V or 5V using the onboard VCC SEL Jumper, ensuring compatibility with most microcontrollers. The sensor core itself requires a regulated 1.8V supply, which is generated internally by the Click board's circuitry.

How do I communicate with the MMC5633NJL sensor on this module?

Communication is via a standard I2C (2-wire) serial interface, supporting clock frequencies up to 400 kHz. All sensor parameters, including measurement mode, output data rate, and SET/RESET commands, are controlled through software-accessible registers detailed in the MMC5633NJL datasheet.

What is the purpose of the integrated SET/RESET function?

The SET/RESET function performs automatic degaussing, clearing any residual magnetic polarization from exposure to strong magnets. It also compensates for the sensor's null field output drift due to temperature changes, which is critical for maintaining long-term heading accuracy without manual recalibration.

Is this module compatible with Arduino or Raspberry Pi?

Yes. The module's selectable logic voltage and standard I2C interface make it directly compatible with 3.3V or 5V Arduino boards, Raspberry Pi (using logic level translation if needed), ESP32, STM32, and other popular MCU platforms. Mikroe provides a software library to accelerate development.

What is the physical size of the COMPASS 7 CLICK board?

The board conforms to the standard mikroBUS form factor, measuring 28.6 mm in width and 25.4 mm in length. This compact size allows for easy integration into stacked prototyping setups or embedded within final product designs requiring precise magnetic sensing.
