ACROBOTIC QMC5883L Triple-Axis Compass Magnetometer Sensor Breakout Board GY-271 for Arduino Raspberry Pi ESP8266 GY271 | HMC5883L EOL Replacement

This breakout board provides a convenient way to start using the fantastic, inexpensive QMC5883L module, a three-axis magnetic sensor based on state-of-the-art, high-resolution, magneto-resistive technology licensed from Honeywell AMR technology (as used in their HMC5883L, for example)!

The QMC5883L breakout board 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.

This breakout board makes it easy to connect this sensor to your microcontroller board or single-board computer such as Arduino, ESP8266, BeagleBone or Raspberry Pi! The four pins correspond to power (VCC, GND) and I2C communication (SDA, SCL). We've included in our design pull-up resistors on the I2C lines as customary.

Features:

• Main Chip: QMC5883L (licensed HMC5883L EOL replacement)
• Input Voltage: 3~5V
• Measuring Range: ±1.3~8 Gauss
• This 0.50in×0.56in breakout PCB facilitates using the QMC5883L, specially on solderless breadboards!
• Sturdy (1.6mm), blue PCB with a 5-pin header on one side (Vdd, Vss, DRDY (optional), SDA, and SCL)
• 5-Pin header included (requires soldering!)
