yesterday i receive my new HCM5883L magnetometer breakout board , i connect it to arduino according to pin configuration that is SCL to pin 5, SDA to pin 4 with 5.6 k pullup resistor but i receiving just a raw data between 0 and 5 of x and y and the value of z is constant i-e -4096 , i do not understand what happen to this , whether the geeetech baord are faulty or there is some other reason.i attached the screen shot of the serial monitor with code. plz if some one knows about then help me .thanks in advance
Code: Select all
#include <Wire.h>
// Reference the HMC5883L Compass Library
#include <HMC5883L.h>
// Store our compass as a variable.
HMC5883L compass;
// Record any errors that may occur in the compass.
int error = 0;
// Out setup routine, here we will configure the microcontroller and compass.
void setup()
{
// Initialize the serial port.
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Starting the I2C interface.");
Wire.begin(); // Start the I2C interface.
Serial.println("Constructing new HMC5883L");
compass = HMC5883L(); // Construct a new HMC5883 compass.
Serial.println("Setting scale to +/- 1.3 Ga");
error = compass.SetScale(1.3); // Set the scale of the compass.
if(error != 0) // If there is an error, print it out.
Serial.println(compass.GetErrorText(error));
Serial.println("Setting measurement mode to continous.");
error = compass.SetMeasurementMode(Measurement_Continuous); // Set the measurement mode to Continuous
if(error != 0) // If there is an error, print it out.
Serial.println(compass.GetErrorText(error));
}
// Our main program loop.
void loop()
{
// Retrive the raw values from the compass (not scaled).
MagnetometerRaw raw = compass.ReadRawAxis();
// Retrived the scaled values from the compass (scaled to the configured scale).
MagnetometerScaled scaled = compass.ReadScaledAxis();
// Values are accessed like so:
int MilliGauss_OnThe_XAxis = scaled.XAxis;// (or YAxis, or ZAxis)
// Calculate heading when the magnetometer is level, then correct for signs of axis.
float heading = atan2(scaled.YAxis, scaled.XAxis);
// Once you have your heading, you must then add your 'Declination Angle', which is the 'Error' of the magnetic field in your location.
// Find yours here: http://www.magnetic-declination.com/
// Mine is: 2� 37' W, which is 2.617 Degrees, or (which we need) 0.0456752665 radians, I will use 0.0457
// If you cannot find your Declination, comment out these two lines, your compass will be slightly off.
float declinationAngle = 0.0457;
heading += declinationAngle;
// Correct for when signs are reversed.
if(heading < 0)
heading += 2*PI;
// Check for wrap due to addition of declination.
if(heading > 2*PI)
heading -= 2*PI;
// Convert radians to degrees for readability.
float headingDegrees = heading * 180/M_PI;
// Output the data via the serial port.
Output(raw, scaled, heading, headingDegrees);
// Normally we would delay the application by 66ms to allow the loop
// to run at 15Hz (default bandwidth for the HMC5883L).
// However since we have a long serial out (104ms at 9600) we will let
// it run at its natural speed.
// delay(66);
}
// Output the data down the serial port.
void Output(MagnetometerRaw raw, MagnetometerScaled scaled, float heading, float headingDegrees)

Serial.print("Raw:\t");
