Product information "Compass 2 click"

Compass 2 click carries the AK8963 3-axis electronic compass. The AK8963 sensor is based on the Hall effect. The click is designed to run on a 3.3V power supply only. It communicates with the target microcontroller through either I2C or SPI interface, with additional functionality provided by the INT pin on the mikroBUS™ line.

AK8963 features

The built-in ADC converter can be set up at either 14 or 16 bit resolution, for each of the 3 axes. The sensitivity is 0.6µT/LSB typ. at 14-bit, and 0.15µT/LSB at 16-bit.

AK8963 incorporates magnetic sensors for detecting terrestrial magnetism in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis, a sensor driving circuit, signal amplifier chain, and an arithmetic circuit for processing the signal from each sensor.

Features and usage notes

The AK8964 has several operating modes which can be configured by setting a specific register (CNTL1) to certain values. The following is a list of available operating modes with partial descriptions (to give you an overview). The configuration details are available on page 13 of the official data sheet, while the complete descriptions

(1) Power-down mode

Power to almost all internal circuits is turned off. All registers are accessible in power-down mode. However, fuse ROM data cannot be read correctly. Data stored in read/write registers are remained. They can be reset by soft reset.

(2) Single measurement mode

When single measurement mode (MODE[3:0]=“0001”) is set, sensor is measured, and after sensor measurement and signal processing is finished, measurement data is stored to measurement data registers (HXL to HZH), then AK8963 transits to power-down mode automatically.

(3) Continuous measurement mode 1 and 2

When continuous measurement mode 1 (MODE[3:0]=“0010”) or 2 (MODE[3:0]=“0110”) is set, sensor is measured periodically at 8Hz or 100Hz respectively. When sensor measurement and signal processing is finished, measurement data is stored to measurement data registers (HXL ~ HZH) and all circuits except for the minimum circuit required for counting cycle lentgh are turned off (PD).

(4) External trigger measurement mode

When external trigger measurement mode (MODE[3:0]=“0100”) is set, AK8963 waits for trigger input. When a pulse is input from TRG pin, sensor measurement is started on the rising edge of TRG pin. When sensor measurement and signal processing is finished, measurement data is stored to measurement data registers (HXL to HZH) and all circuits except for the minimum circuit required for trigger input waiting are turned off (PD state).

(4) External trigger measurement mode

Fuse ROM access mode is used to read Fuse ROM data. Sensitivity adjustments for each axis is stored in fuse ROM.

Compass 2 click has both SPI and I2C interfaces. The active interface is configured with onboard jumpers. If you use I2C, an additional jumper will allow you to set the I2C address.

Programming

This code snippet initiates Compass 2 with I2C communication, and reads out the heading value, along with a direction, ( N, NE, E, etc ) from the module to a UART terminal every 100 ms.
