Product guide
Pinouts
Text emphasized with a blue info:
This guide is for both the A1 and A2 variants. Both use the exact same firmware and pinout. The A1 type has a ±40mT / ±80mT range and the A2 has a wider ±133mT / ±266mT range.
The default I2C address is 0x35.
Power Pins
- VIN - this is the power pin. To power the board, give it the same power as the logic level of your microcontroller - e.g. for a 5V microcontroller like Arduino, use 5V. For a 3.3V microcontroller, use 3.3V.
- 3Vo - this is the 3.3V output from the voltage regulator, you can grab up to 100mA from this if you like.
- GND - common ground for power and logic.
I2C Logic Pins
- SCL - I2C clock pin, connect to your microcontroller I2C clock line. This pin is level shifted so you can use 3-5V logic, and there's a 10K pullup on this pin.
- SDA - I2C data pin, connect to your microcontroller I2C data line. This pin is level shifted so you can use 3-5V logic, and there's a 10K pullup on this pin.
- STEMMA QT - These connectors allow you to connect to dev boards with STEMMA QT connectors or to other things with various associated accessories.
