I am using the BMC150 compass in a device and would like to understand how quickly the calibration rotation can be performed?
For previous compass components we had a requirement to rotate the device once over 40 seconds to one minute, but I don't think we have updated information for this component.
Many Thanks,
Phil

Hi PhilRichardson,
BMC150 has been discontinued and is not recommended for use in new designs.

Hi Robin,
Yes, I am aware it is now discontinued - it has been used in the design for a number of years. I would like to understand the recommended calibration procedure in more detail.

Hi PhilRichardson,
Geomagnetic sensor calibration requires special algorithms.
BSX full version contains several valuable features such as advanced fast calibration, is a charging algorithm.
