BMM150 (GY-BMM150) 3-axis magnetometer with ESP32
Supply 3.3 V
Bus I2C
I2C address
0x10 / 0x11 / 0x12 / 0x13
Measures magnetic field, heading
Pins and ESP32 wiring
| Pin | Role | ESP32 pin | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power | 3V3 | Use 3V3. Pin order differs between sellers: check the silkscreen |
| GND | Ground | GND | |
| SCL | I2C clock (SCL) | D22 | |
| SDA | I2C data (SDA) | D21 | |
| CSB | Not wired to the ESP32 | — | Address bit / SPI select. Sets the address with SDO (0x10 to 0x13) |
| SDO | Not wired to the ESP32 | — | Address bit. Sets the address with CSB (0x10 to 0x13) |
| INT | Interrupt | D35 | Interrupt output, optional |
| DRDY | Interrupt | VP | Data ready, optional |
Suggested wiring for the 30-pin ESP32 DevKit, avoiding flash, input-only and strapping pins. BoardPilot checks it for you as you wire.
Starter code (Arduino)
#include <Wire.h>
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
Wire.begin(21, 22); // SDA = GPIO 21, SCL = GPIO 22
Wire.beginTransmission(0x10);
bool found = Wire.endTransmission() == 0;
Serial.println(found ? "BMM150 (GY-BMM150) 3-axis magnetometer found at 0x10" : "Not found: check power, GND and SDA/SCL");
}
void loop() {}
