About this item

The Digilent Pmod CMPS2 is a compact 3-axis digital compass module utilizing the Memsic MMC34160PJ magnetometer, designed for precise orientation and navigation applications. It offers a ±16 Gauss magnetic field range with a heading accuracy of ±1° and a resolution of 0.5 milligauss, ensuring reliable performance in various conditions. The module operates via an I²C interface, supporting fast mode (≤400 kHz), and features optional pull-up resistors for the SCL and SDA pins, facilitating easy integration with microcontrollers and development boards. Its small PCB size of 0.8" × 1.25" (2.0 cm × 3.2 cm) allows for flexible designs in space-constrained projects. Additionally, the Pmod CMPS2 includes a pass-through Pmod host port for daisy-chaining, adhering to the Digilent Pmod Interface Specification 1.1.0, and is compatible with various Digilent development boards. Typical applications include electronic compasses, GPS navigation systems, and position sensing devices, making it an ideal choice for projects requiring accurate and compact magnetic field sensing solutions.
