此配件搭载了一颗HMC5883L芯片，HMC5883L是Honeywel公司的一款三轴数字指南针芯片，12-bit ADC，精度可达1～2度，采用I2C方式通讯。此配件集成了3.3V电源转换IC给HMC5883L供电，您只需连接5V电源和主控的I2C接口就可以使用。
+
* The Matrix-3_Axis_Digital_Compass module is designed to measure the direction and functions like to a compass.
 +
* It utilizes the HMC5883L chip. The HMC5883L includes high-resolution HMC118X series magneto-resistive sensors plus an ASIC containing amplification, automatic degaussing strap drivers, offset cancellation, and a 12-bit ADC that enables 1° to 2° compass heading accuracy. It achieves 2 milli-gauss field resolution in ±8 gauss fields. These sensors’ solid-state construction with very low cross-axis sensitivity is designed to measure both the direction and the magnitude of Earth’s magnetic fields, from milli-gauss to 8 gauss.  It has an I2C serial bus interface.
 +
* It integrates a 3.3V power conversion IC allowing it to be powered by an external 5V power source. It can be controlled by an I2C master.

==Basic Device Operation==

*HMC5883L 是一款小巧的高集成三轴数字指南针芯片，包含最先进的高分辨率HMC118X系列磁阻传感器，并附带Honeywel专利的集成电路包括放大器、自动消磁驱动器、偏差校准、能使指南针精度控制在1°~2°的12位模数转换器，能在±8高斯的磁场中实现5毫高斯分辨率测量。
+
* The Honeywell HMC5883L magnetoresistive sensor circuit is a trio of sensors and application specific support circuits to measure magnetic fields. With power supply applied, the sensor converts any incident magnetic field in the sensitive axis directions to a differential voltage output. The magnetoresistive sensors are made of a nickel-iron (Permalloy) thin-film and patterned as a resistive strip element. In the presence of a magnetic field, a change in the bridge resistive elements causes a corresponding change in voltage across the bridge outputs. These resistive elements are aligned together to have a common sensitive axis (indicated by arrows in the pinout diagram) that will provide positive voltage change with magnetic fields increasing in the sensitive direction. Because the output is only proportional to the magnetic field component along its axis, additional sensor bridges are placed at orthogonal directions to permit accurate measurement of magnetic field in any orientation.
−
*片内的磁阻元件两两对齐，形成一个共同的敏感轴(如图上的箭头所示)，在磁场存在的情况下，磁阻传感器的变化将引起跨电桥输出电压的相应变动。随着磁场在敏感方向上不断增强，电压也就正向增长，输出与沿着该轴方向上的磁阻元件变化成比例，其他磁阻电桥放置在正交方向上，就能精密测量其他方向的磁场强度。 传感器内部还可产生标准磁场而进行的自测试(不论是正向配置还是负向配置)，再去测量此标准磁场强度并输出。
+
* The HMC5883L communicates via a two-wire I2C bus system as a slave device. It has 8-bit read address and 8-bit write address. This device supports standard and fast modes, 100kHz and 400kHz, respectively, but does not support the high speed mode (Hs). The bus bit format is an 8-bit Data/Address send and a 1-bit acknowledge bit. The format of the data bytes (payload) shall be case sensitive ASCII characters or binary data to the HMC5883L slave, and binary data returned. Negative binary values will be in two’s complement form. The default (factory) HMC5883L 8-bit slave address is 0x3C for write operations, or 0x3D for read operations.

*而这里采用I2C通信，接线方式如下图：
+
* The module has an I2C interface which complies to the I2C standard protocol and the connection diagram is as follows

==Download Matrix Source Code==
 +
All the matrix modules' code samples are open source. They are maintained on GitHub - https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git <br>
 +
Each branch in this hub contains the matrix modules' code samples for a board that the matrix modules can work with.<br>
 +
* The nanopi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi
 +
* The nanopi 2 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi 2
 +
* The tiny4412 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the Tiny4412

===Linux下的C示例===
+
Please follow the steps below to get the source code:<br>
 +
Install the git utility on a PC running Ubuntu14.04
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ sudo apt-get install git
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
Clone the matrix code from GitHub
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
If this is successful a "matrix" directory will be generated, which will contain all the matrix modules' code samples.

1 Introduction

3-Axis Digital Compass
  • The Matrix-3_Axis_Digital_Compass module is designed to measure the direction and functions like to a compass.
  • It utilizes the HMC5883L chip. The HMC5883L includes high-resolution HMC118X series magneto-resistive sensors plus an ASIC containing amplification, automatic degaussing strap drivers, offset cancellation, and a 12-bit ADC that enables 1° to 2° compass heading accuracy. It achieves 2 milli-gauss field resolution in ±8 gauss fields. These sensors’ solid-state construction with very low cross-axis sensitivity is designed to measure both the direction and the magnitude of Earth’s magnetic fields, from milli-gauss to 8 gauss. It has an I2C serial bus interface.
  • It integrates a 3.3V power conversion IC allowing it to be powered by an external 5V power source. It can be controlled by an I2C master.

3 Basic Device Operation

  • The Honeywell HMC5883L magnetoresistive sensor circuit is a trio of sensors and application specific support circuits to measure magnetic fields. With power supply applied, the sensor converts any incident magnetic field in the sensitive axis directions to a differential voltage output. The magnetoresistive sensors are made of a nickel-iron (Permalloy) thin-film and patterned as a resistive strip element. In the presence of a magnetic field, a change in the bridge resistive elements causes a corresponding change in voltage across the bridge outputs. These resistive elements are aligned together to have a common sensitive axis (indicated by arrows in the pinout diagram) that will provide positive voltage change with magnetic fields increasing in the sensitive direction. Because the output is only proportional to the magnetic field component along its axis, additional sensor bridges are placed at orthogonal directions to permit accurate measurement of magnetic field in any orientation.
  • The HMC5883L communicates via a two-wire I2C bus system as a slave device. It has 8-bit read address and 8-bit write address. This device supports standard and fast modes, 100kHz and 400kHz, respectively, but does not support the high speed mode (Hs). The bus bit format is an 8-bit Data/Address send and a 1-bit acknowledge bit. The format of the data bytes (payload) shall be case sensitive ASCII characters or binary data to the HMC5883L slave, and binary data returned. Negative binary values will be in two’s complement form. The default (factory) HMC5883L 8-bit slave address is 0x3C for write operations, or 0x3D for read operations.
  • The module has an I2C interface which complies to the I2C standard protocol and the connection diagram is as follows

5 Compile & Run Test Program

Boot your ARM board with Debian and copy the matrix code: 

$ apt-get update && apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

If your cloning is done successfully a "matrix" directory will be generated.

Compile and install Matrix: 

$ cd matrix
$ make && make install

Run test program: 

$ matrix-compass

Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to an ARM board.
Here is what you should observe:

The angle is 305.2

305.2 is the angle's value whose range is 0 ~ 360.
