Is it just another magnetometer chip? We’ll see …
↓↓↓ Complete description, time index and links below ↓↓↓

Remember the Diodes AH3582 hall effect switch, the Melaxis A1334 and A1335 hall effect angle sensors, and the QST QMC5883L and Memsic MMC5983MA 3-axis digital compasses (links below)? It’s time for another magnetometer chip!

I just wanted a simple chip, that measures magnetic fields from magnets in 3-axis. The Melexis MLX90363 I ended up with looks simple enough with its 8-pin SOIC package, but it does so much more in a most interesting way. Here are the basics.

00:00 Intro – the Melexis MLX90363 Triaxis® magnetometer
00:37 Highlights –the first page of the datasheet
05:03 Triaxis® – measuring in 3 axis with 4 planar hall sensors
12:38 Breadboard – 5V setup according to the datasheet
14:33 Example 1 – Otteri / MLX90363_Rotary_program.c
20:53 Example 2 – popos123 / MLX90363
27:34 Diametric magnet – an unusual neodymium magnet
28:27 Features – it’s supposed to do so much more
29:44 Wrap-up – next up are the details, bye
