This is a very simple breakout board for the popular HMC6352 from Honeywell. If you need
simple, clean, degree resolution compass heading, this is the way to go. The module is suitable for all
robotic application and other navigation purpose. Module includes Voltage Regulator and other
necessary hardware. The Honeywell HMC6352 is a fully integrated compass module that combines 2-
axis magneto-resistive sensors with the required analog and digital support circuits, and algorithms for
heading computation.
