Acceleration Sensor Development Tools Triple-axis Accelerometer+Magnetometer (Compass) Board - LSM303

It takes a lot of work to get the compass to work correctly in a tilt compensated way since it is so noisy and crappy. In the end, it actually ended up being a big waste of money and I went with a BNO055, which is quite a gem!.

It may sound as if I am marketing them but it is It's better to go with Adafruit if you have the choice. The documentation for their products is amazing and they have the best products. One of the compass boards I was using never actually worked for me. When I wired this up, I had it working within minutes.

The piece works great in an area with low magnetic interference, where I bought it for a school project. Due to the fact that it has both a compass and an accelerometer, I would recommend it.

The program works very accurately and is very.

Too much noise in the acceleration readings to get any kind of useful information from this device.

Compared to previous products from Adafruit, this one runs smoothly and is of great quality. Nevertheless, there are a number of realities that complicate the application of these devices In order to solve the puzzle, you must be aware of the limitations of the science (or be prepared to conduct exhaustive experiments). This device is located on the surface of the earth and it detects the magnetic field of the planet. Anything that influences that field might corrupt In a homemade wind direction sensor I put one It has a pointer on a shaft at the end that is attached to a 6-inch stem An electrical connection is made using a slip ring to run through the bottom of a plastic peanut jar planter. As an annunciator, I am using an Adafruit Neopixel ring. The device does not function properly, but it does work The compass has a strong linearity in the west (it's most sensitive at the north west compass point) and is much less accurate elsewhere. This is my attempt at using the Adafruit library combined with the tilt-compensated heading sketch (google it) but I wasn't able to get the correction constants as described in the sketch for local conditions. The default ones that come with the sketch will be used. An important clue is the disappearance of the nonlinearity if I tilt the peanut jar enclosure at a 45-degree I will have to tilt the jar another 90 degrees to make it horizontal for it to appear again. That would be obvious to a magnetometer guru, but not to Additionally, there are other less interesting indications. I previously used an enclosure made from 2 inch pvc pipe, and when vertically oriented, the device would not function at all, while when horizontally oriented the device was fine. Using pvc is not a good idea. In both cases, the board is mounted upside down in a horizontal plane, rotating around its x-axis area, and is mounted on both sides of the plane As it stands, the axis and centerline of rotation are roughly square in the center of the board. I haven't tried moving it off the centerline yet.

Shelving it until later.
