GY-26 Digital Electronic Compass Sensor Module

GY-26 is a low-cost flat digital compass module. Input voltage and power consumption is low, small size.

Its working principle is by two mutually perpendicular magnetic sensors response the magnetic component of earth's magnetic field induction, To arrive at the azimuth angle. This compass to RS232 protocol, and the IIC protocol with other devices. High precision, high stability. And with a re-calibration function, can be in any position accurate azimuth, the output is 9600bps, continuous output and exercise output in two ways, with the magnetic declination compensation, can adapt to the different working environment.

Features:

• This is a low-cost plane of digital compass 
• The working principle is utilizing magnetoresistive sensor sensing the Earth's magnetic field component, so as to get an azimuth angle 
• Lightweight and high cost-effective 
• With stable operation and high accuracy 
• Very low operating voltage (3 - 5V DC) 
• DC single-supply operation 
• Advanced hard iron calibration 

Applications:

• Handheld electronic instrument 
• Robot orientation and position 
• Navigation system 
• Telescope position 
• Antenna position 
• Automobile GPS navigation 

Package Includes: 

1 x GY-26 DC 3V-5V Digital Electronic Compass Sensor Module
