CMPS12 - Tilt Compensated Magnetic Compass

Devantech

Overview

The CMPS12 is Devantech's 4th generation tilt compensated compass, powered by the Bosch BNO055, delivering better performance than ever!

CMPS12
Voltage 3.3V-5V
Current 18mA Typ.
Resolution 0.1 Degree
Accuracy Better than 1% after calibration
Signal levels 3.3V, 5V tolerant
I2C mode up to 400khz
Serial mode 9600, 19200, 38400 baud

Introduction

The CMPS12 is Devantech's 4th generation tilt compensated compass. Employing a 3-axis magnetometer, a 3- axis gyro and a 3-axis accelerometer. At the core of the module is the superb BNO055 running algorithms to remove the errors caused by tilting of the PCB. Power supply requirements are flexible, you can feed between 3.3 - 5v and the module draws a nominal 18mA of current. A choice of serial or I2C interfaces can be used for communication. The CMPS12 command set and pinout is compatible with the older CMPS11. The sensor calibrates itself continuously and automatically with movement and the resulting calibration profile may be saved on the module.


Mode selection and connections

Serial or I2C mode is easily selected with the state of the mode pin. Note the CMPS12 looks at the mode selection pin at power-up only.
For I2C the mode pin can be left open or pulled to the supply voltage, for serial mode the mode pin should be connected to 0v ground.
