Requirements


This shield can be used with boards which provide an I2C connector, for example STEMMA QT or Qwiic connectors. The target board must define a zephyr_i2c node label. See :ref:shields for more details.

Pin Assignments

+--------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | Shield Pin | Function | +==============+======================================================+ | SDA | LIS3MDL I2C SDA | +--------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | SCL | LIS3MDL I2C SCL | +--------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | INT | LIS3MDL Interrupt out | +--------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | DO/AD1 | LIS3MDL I2C address select pin | +--------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | CS | LIS3MDL Force I2C mode by setting it to high level. | +--------------+------------------------------------------------------+ | DRDY | LIS3MDL Data ready out | +--------------+------------------------------------------------------+

In order to use the DRDY output you need to connect a separate wire from the shield to a GPIO pin on your microcontroller board. See :dtcompatible:st,lis3mdl-magn for documentation on how to adjust the devicetree file.

Programming


Set --shield adafruit_lis3mdl when you invoke west build. For example when running the :zephyr:code-sample:magn_polling sample:

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/sensor/magn_polling :board: adafruit_feather_rp2040 :shield: adafruit_lis3mdl :goals: build flash
