Triple Axis Magnetometer Sensor For Compass Navigation, Orientation, and Positioning Applications
The Gravity BMM150 Triple Axis Magnetometer Sensor is a compact and low-power geomagnetic sensing module designed for accurate magnetic field measurement, compass heading detection, and spatial orientation applications. Based on the Bosch BMM150 sensor, the module measures magnetic fields across three perpendicular axes, enabling precise detection of direction and orientation in embedded systems, robotics, navigation devices, and mobile applications. Its low-noise design ensures stable and reliable measurements even in demanding environments.
Built on Bosch's advanced FlipCore technology, the BMM150 delivers high-performance geomagnetic sensing with minimal power consumption. The sensor supports magnetic field measurement ranges of +/-1300 uT on the X and Y axes and +/-2047 uT on the Z axis, providing accurate heading and positioning information. A built-in 2-bit DIP switch allows selection of up to four I2C addresses, making it suitable for multi-sensor systems. The module is ideal for robot navigation, electronic compasses, augmented reality systems, and intelligent positioning applications.
