Anyone worked with the HMC 1052L evaluation board?

Hi,

I have just bought an HMC1052L board and I am trying to work out how to get compass headings with it. I am testing it at the moment with an Atmega16 using the on chip 10bit ADC. I plan on using a 16 bit ADC later on to improve accuracy. I am not sure where to start.

Firstly I am not sure what to do with the set pin.

Secondly … I wanted to post a bit more here but I keep getting some error about using incorrect words.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chris,

Did you ever get the eval board to work? I’d like to know what to do with the set pin as well.

Sorry, I didn’t see your reply till now. I did manage to get it working but the resolution was very poor using a 10bit ADC. I pulled the Set pin high then low before I took a reading. Seemed to work OK.

Chris_P, the Application Notes do suggest using a 12 to 16-bit ADC. I hope it’s better resolution with 16. How often did you need to high/low the Set pin for readings? I’m looking to get 10-15Hz readings.

Thanks!
