1 Introduction

3-Axis Digital Accelerometer

• 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.

2 Features

• I2C，3.3V

• Pin Description:

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

4 下载Matrix源码

Matrix配件相关的代码是完全是开源的，统一由一个仓库进行管理：git://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
该仓库里不同的分支代表着Matrix配件所支持的不同开发板。

• nanopi分支包含了Matrix对NanoPi的支持；
• tiny4412分支包含了Matrix对Tiny4412的支持；
• raspberrypi分支包含了Matrix对RaspberryPi的支持；

在主机PC上安装git，以Ubuntu14.04为例

$ sudo apt-get install git

克隆Matrix配件代码仓库

$ git clone git://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

克隆完成后会得到一个matrix目录，里面存放着所有Matrix配件的代码。

5 与NanoPi连接使用

5.1 准备工作

在NanoPi上运行Debian系统，然后在主机PC上安装并使用相应的编译器。参考wiki：NanoPi
注意：必须使用nanopi-v4.1.y-matrix分支编译出来的内核。
下载NanoPi内核源代码并编译

$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux-4.x.y.git
$ cd linux-4.x.y
$ git checkout nanopi-v4.1.y-matrix
$ make nanopi_defconfig
$ touch .scmversion
$ make

进入matrix代码仓库，切换到nanopi分支

$ cd matrix
$ git checkout nanopi

编译Matrix配件代码

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- clean
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- install

注意：请确保你的主机PC当前使用的交叉编译器为NanoPi-Debian配套的arm-linux-gcc-4.4.3。
编译出来的库文件位于install/lib目录下，而测试程序则位于install/usr/bin目录下，模块Matrix-3_Axis_Digital_Compass对应的测试程序为matrix-3_axis_digital_compass。
