    I am having an issue getting data from the board using an ESP32. I can get data for a few seconds then the data stops reading and while it is reading the heading only shows -170->170 degrees pushing toward 180 as a center point. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

    Hi, Thanks as always. I'm having trouble getting the right heading - seems like there are large offsets in the magnetometer values, so the bearing only changes within a range of 150-220 degrees or so, no matter which way I turn it. Any thoughts?

      I have the same issue did you every come up with a solution?

    Hi, thanks for this product. It works well, even if I have a heat issue on the chip. With a 3.3V supply voltage, temperature quickly increases up to 60-70°C (approx 150°F). As it seems to be above average to me, does anyone else face the same situtation?

    Hi, thanks for the excellent guide. The 9DOF sensor is hooked up and running with an Arduino Mega, using the out-of-the-box I2C example, but the magnetometer is not working. The printed values are all saturated. For example, the raw values are: M: 32767, 32767, -32768. The accelerometer and gyroscope respond properly. Any idea what is going on?

      I haven't run into that issue, but it sounds like the magnetometer isn't responding, this could be a result of using a different address, are you using 0x1E or 0x1C?
