BBBmini: Second magnetometer from GPS

Hi

I got a ublox neo m8n gps for my bbbmini. It has an extra pair of wires that I think are for the compass. Where would you connect the second compass on the mini and how would you configure it? Thanks - Steve

Hi Steve,

connect SDA and SCL from your GPS compass to P15 or P20 (SDA and SCL) https://github.com/mirkix/BBBMINI-PCB/blob/master/picture/bbbmini.png on the BBBmini. It is not necessary to configure the compass, the compass will be auto detected. Don’t forget to do a compass calibration with the new compass.
