GY-271 Compass Module Features Magnetic current and field have directly relation with each other. When current flows in a wire (electrons start travelling in one direction), a magnetic field is created. The main idea of compass sensors is based on this relationship. The direction of the earth's magnetic field affects the flow of electrons in the sensor. By measuring these changes in current, the sensor will be able to detect direction.The GY-271 module uses the QMC5883L chip to detect magnetic fields an...
