About this manual

The HMR3200 and HMR3300 are compact solid‑state magnetic compass modules (25 mm × 37 mm × 10 mm) with low weight (7.25 g / 7.5 g) and high accuracy. They offer 1° direction accuracy, 0.1° resolution, and a ±60° tilt measurement range, while compensating for hard‑magnetic and ferrous interference. The modules operate from a single 6‑15 V DC supply and function over –40 °C to +85 °C.

Both devices support UART (ASCII) and SPI serial interfaces. UART operates at selectable baud rates from 2400 to 19200 bps, while SPI runs at 15 Hz (HMR3200) or 8 Hz (HMR3300). The manual details pin assignments, command formats for direction and magnetic field output, and includes a demo PCB kit with RS‑232 adapter and Windows software for development.
