Hi cicciocb
I finally got time to work on this project. There seems to be several QMC5883L module versions out there. Can you please post a picture of the exact one you used in your example?

Thanks
Zim

Hi Zim,
this is the module I bought some time ago
https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/10050053 ... pt=glo2fra

It is sold as a HMC5883L but, in fact, is a QMC5883L that is, apparently, the same but has a different registers arrangements.

Hi cicciocb
If the first code example you gave for QMC5883 was used for just a compass, could a "tilt compensation" ( like what is used in the below example) be added to your code?
Thanks
Zim

Hi Zim,
I don't know what is the real result but, at first view, the code you posted is based on a combination of accelerometers and magnetometers, not only magnetometers.

I'm not an expert (maybe some expert can give his feedback) but, honestly, in all the tests I did it I found that is very hard and unreliable to determine the heading, in particular without any calibration.

If your objective is to track the position of a metallic rod, I think that, very probably, you should use the AS5600.
