I am attempting to receive data from a magnetometer. I checked with another program, it is definitely transmitting. Here is the code
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>
#include <Adafruit_HMC5883_U.h>
/* Assign a unique ID to this sensor at the same time */
Adafruit_HMC5883_Unified mag = Adafruit_HMC5883_Unified(12345);
void displaySensorDetails(void)
{
sensor_t sensor;
mag.getSensor(&sensor);
Serial.println("------------------------------------");
Serial.print ("Sensor: "); Serial.println(sensor.name);
Serial.print ("Driver Ver: "); Serial.println(sensor.version);
Serial.print ("Unique ID: "); Serial.println(sensor.sensor_id);
Serial.print ("Max Value: "); Serial.print(sensor.max_value); Serial.println(" uT");
Serial.print ("Min Value: "); Serial.print(sensor.min_value); Serial.println(" uT");
Serial.print ("Resolution: "); Serial.print(sensor.resolution); Serial.println(" uT");
Serial.println("------------------------------------");
Serial.println("");
//delay(500);
}
void setup(void)
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("HMC5883 Magnetometer Test"); Serial.println("");
/* Initialise the sensor */
if(!mag.begin())
{
/* There was a problem detecting the HMC5883 ... check your connections */
Serial.println("Ooops, no HMC5883 detected ... Check your wiring!");
while(1);
}
/* Display some basic information on this sensor */
displaySensorDetails();
}
void loop(void)
{
/* Get a new sensor event */
sensors_event_t event;
mag.getEvent(&event);
Serial.println("void loop working");
/* Display the results (magnetic vector values are in micro-Tesla (uT)) */
Serial.println("X: "); Serial.print(event.magnetic.x); Serial.print(" ");
Serial.println("Y: "); Serial.print(event.magnetic.y); Serial.print(" ");
Serial.println("Z: "); Serial.print(event.magnetic.z); Serial.print(" ");Serial.println("uT");
// Hold the module so that Z is pointing 'up' and you can measure the heading with x&y
// Calculate heading when the magnetometer is level, then correct for signs of axis.
float heading = atan2(event.magnetic.y, event.magnetic.x);
// Once you have your heading, you must then add your 'Declination Angle', which is the 'Error' of the magnetic field in your location.
// Find yours here: http://www.magnetic-declination.com/
// Mine is: -13* 2' W, which is ~13 Degrees, or (which we need) 0.22 radians
// If you cannot find your Declination, comment out these two lines, your compass will be slightly off.
float declinationAngle = 0;
heading += declinationAngle;
// Correct for when signs are reversed.
if(heading < 0)
heading += 2*PI;
// Check for wrap due to addition of declination.
if(heading > 2*PI)
heading -= 2*PI;
// Convert radians to degrees for readability.
float headingDegrees = heading * 180/M_PI;
Serial.print("Heading (degrees): "); Serial.println(headingDegrees);
// delay(500);
}
This code uploads and compiles fine, no errors, but it does not receive the data it should. I have attached a screenshot of what it prints. As you can see, it does not even print the line in the void loop. I cannot imagine a reason for the void loop not to run. I have tried commenting out most of the code, in separate runs and together, but no matter what nothing in the void loop runs.
Thank you for any help.
