This is the repo for the Core Electronics PiicoDev Magnetometer MMC5603.
The PiicoDev® Magnetometer measures invisible magnetic fields. It's sensitive enough to use as a compass and wide-range enough for detecting magnets - which have a much stronger field. The on-board MMC5603 can measure up to 20-bits up to 3000μT in all 3 axes. By using PiicoDev adapters and cables, you can connect to this sensor without soldering - or use the standard breakout header if you prefer breadboard prototyping. Whichever you prefer, the PiicoDev guides will guide you through exciting experiments like measuring the Earth's magnetic field to find a heading and detecting if a magnet is nearby.
Features
- Small size, high accuracy
- Measures magnetic fields in 3-axes
- Sensitive enough to use like a compass,
- A broad enough range to work with nearby magnets
- Great guides to get you started
- PiicoDev connector, compatible with Qwiic and STEMMA QT (3.3V only)
- 2.54mm breakout for breadboarding/prototyping
- Manufactured and supported in Australia by Core Electronics

Questions
How big is the PiicoDev Magnetometer MMC5603 PCB?
It measures 25.4 × 25.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PiicoDev Magnetometer MMC5603 use?
24 parts, built around the MMC5603NJ. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the PiicoDev Magnetometer MMC5603 KiCad files?
From the CoreElectronics/CE-PiicoDev-Magnetometer-MMC5603 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/PiicoDev-Magnetometer-MMC5603.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/PiicoDev-Magnetometer-MMC5603.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PiicoDev Magnetometer MMC5603 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask CoreElectronics before reusing the design.
