It's time to start utilizing the superior magnetometer, and what better way than to throw it onto an easy-to-use breakout board? The SparkFun MLX90393 Magnetometer Breakout is a triple-axis magnetic sensor board capable of sensing very small fields, while still behaving as one would expect during saturation in larger fields (like a nearby magnet). The MLX90393 breakout can be used as a compass sensor but also works well as a non-contact controller, a flow meter with a magnetic impeller, or a linear actuator position sensor. To make it even easier to to get your readings, all communication is enacted exclusively via I2<\/sup>C, utilizing our handy Qwiic system. However, we still have broken out 0.1\"-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard.<\/p>\n\n The MLX90393 features a resolution rate of 0.161\u00b5T with an operating voltage range of 2.2V to 3.6V at 100\u00b5A. This breakout is also equipped with a couple of jumper pads on the back of the board, a set that allows you to change the I2<\/sup>C address as well as one that can put the breakout into SPI mode (if I2<\/sup>C isn't your cup of tea).<\/p>\n\n Note:<\/strong> The I2<\/sup>C address of the MLX90393 is 0x0C and is jumper selectable to 0x0D, 0x0E, or 0x0F. A multiplexer\/Mux is required to communicate to multiple MLX90393 sensors on a single bus. If you need to use more than one MLX90393 sensor consider using the Qwiic Mux Breakout<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n The SparkFun Qwiic connect system is an ecosystem of I2<\/sup>C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can\u2019t hook it up wrong.<\/em><\/p>\n\n
