LSM303D Magnetic Offset Registers

Posted on June 03, 2015 at 17:02 While working with the LSM303D, I ran into the following problem: The application:To detect disturbances in the local magnetic field (the sensor is stationary). I average a set of readings, and then su...

Unable to properly initialize lis3mdl via spi and via i2c

Posted on May 13, 2015 at 11:48I am using the lis3mdl sensor with msp430 microcontroller sensor, the initial plan was to use SPI interface but it turns out the SDI pin was acting like an output pin instead of receiving data from the micro-controller...

LSM303D FIFO operation

Posted on February 13, 2015 at 12:54Hi, I am developing an application using the LSM303D connected via SPI to continuously log the acceleration. I want to use the embedded FIFO to minimise the processor load but cannot find the correct configuration...

Several Questions about the LIS3MDL

Posted on February 12, 2015 at 23:511. On page 6, where it shows the orientation of the axis, does the arrow point in a way such that I should get positive readings by pointing them towards magnetic North? More specifically, what calibration procedu...

Datasheet for LSM303DLHC

Posted on December 27, 2014 at 19:22Is there an updated data sheet for LSM303DLHC? In datasheet DocID018771 Rev 2 some informations once covered in former products just have been dropped. Such as ADC conversion range / scaling of measurement value...

LSM303DLHC Soft Iron and Hard Iron Caliberation

Posted on November 28, 2014 at 06:41Hi,I am using LSM303DLHC device to make a tilt compensated magnetic compass. In my PCB there is some disturbance due to the presence of other components. I saw in an application note (AN3192) we can apply soft iro...
