Resources and Going Further

There are a many more cool projects you can make with the MAG3110 sensor. If you combine the MAG3110 with a few other sensors, you can make a variety of projects that involve location and orientation sensing.

Check out Shawn Hymel's Adventues in Science: Using a Magnetometer as a Compass and example code for ideas:
