Component Types for kSetDataComponents & kDataResp frames
kHeading Compass heading output.
kTemperature
This is sampled from the internal temperature sensor of the module. Its value is in °
Celsius and has an accuracy of +/- 3° C.
kDistortion Read only flag that indicates that at least one magnetometer axis reading is beyond +/- 80
µT.
kCalStatus Read only flag that indicates user calibration status. False (Default) = Not calibrated.
kPCalibrated, kRCalibrated & kIZCalibrated F actory calibrated Earth’s acceleration vector (G)
component output.
kPAngle, kRAngle Pitch and Roll angle outputs. Pitch is equal to -90.0 ˚ to 90.0˚ and Roll is equal to
- 180.0˚ to 180.0˚.
kXAligned, kYAligned, kZAligned
User calibration Earth’s magnetic field (M) vector component
output.
