ISM303 for Tilt-compensated compass application

Hi,

Can we use ISM303 for a Tilt-compensated compass application? When checking the 'Applications' in datasheet, 'Tilt-compensated compasses' is not mentioned in the datasheet of ISM303, but it is mentioned in the datasheet of LSM303, which are both '3D accelerometer + 3D magnetometer' ICs. Can someone share your comments on what the difference would be in ISM303 vs LSM303 for computing tilt compensated compass values?

Can we use the raw accelerometer and magnetometer data from ISM303 and compute tilt compensated compass values?

Is there a library provided by ST for computing the Tilt compensated compass reading / is there an application note suitable for ISM303 for computing tilt compensated heading (just like the application note for LSM303)?

Thanks

Akshay

Hi @AJame.3​ ,

you can use the LSM303 formulas and consideration for the ISM303 device.
