Hello everybody,
I bought this IMU and the following I2C address is given on the shop-site for the magnetometer
HMC5883 -> 30 (0x1E)
However the magnetometer cannot communicate directly over I2C with this address. The jeff rowberg libraries do not work. I think it has to be connected over the MPU6050 aux I2C. Could you please provide a link to an example on how to do that ?
Thanks and best wishes
Tobias
To answer my question: On the MPU6050 the following calls of the jeff rowberg library havet to be made:
setI2CMasterModeEnabled(0);
setI2CBypassEnabled(1);
After this calls the Magnetometer can be used as usual. Please consider a hint in the product page.
Best wishes
Tobias
Hi,
I faced the same problem.
Many thanks for the hint Tobias.
I shared the basic example for the HMC5883L, modified to work with this board.
github.com/baptistelabat/robokite/blob/master/Arduino/HMC5883L_raw/HMC5883L_raw.ino
And here is a complete software to get all sensors (and to transfer them with a RC emitter).
github.com/baptistelabat/robokite/tree/master/Arduino/Attitude_Altitude
This is work in progress so do not hesitate to share any improvement.
As Tobias said, I think at least an hint should be given on the product page, to save time for everybody.
