Adafruit TLV493D Triple-Axis Magnetometer - STEMMA QT / Qwiic

The TLV493D 3-axis magnetometer is a great little sensor for detecting magnets in 3D.

The TLD493D excels at measuring nearby magnetic fields in three dimensions. It's not going to make a good compass, it's not sensitive enough to pick up the Earth's magnetic field, but you can use it to track the movement of nearby magnets in three dimensions. 

Here are a few specs:

• Digital output via 2-wire based standard I2C interface up to 1 MBit/sec
• 12-bit data resolution for each measurement direction
• Bx, By, and Bz linear field measurement up to +130 mT
• Excellent matching of X/Y measurement for accurate angle sensing
• usable with a range of microcontrollers with either 3.3V or 5V logic levels
• Sparkfun Qwiic compatible STEMMA QT connectors
