Hello, I am trying to obtain the magnetic field readings in X, Y and Z directions by utilizing TMAG5273A1 with an arduino uno micro controller. I have created a simple code in order to complete this function, however, the only values I am getting are zeros. I am sharing my code here and it would be a great great help if someone can give any input on any possible error in the code as I have checked the hardware and the code several times and they seem to be correct to me. Thank you!
#include <Wire.h>
const int TMAG5273_ADDRESS = 0x35;
void setup() {
Wire.begin(); // Join i2c bus
Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial communication at 9600 bps
}
void loop() {
Wire.beginTransmission(TMAG5273_ADDRESS);
Wire.write(0x6B);
Wire.endTransmission(false);
Wire.requestFrom(TMAG5273_ADDRESS, 6); // Request 6 bytes (2 bytes per axis)
if (Wire.available()) {
int xAxis = Wire.read() << 8 | Wire.read();
int yAxis = Wire.read() << 8 | Wire.read();
int zAxis = Wire.read() << 8 | Wire.read();
Serial.print("X: ");
Serial.println(xAxis);
Serial.print("Y: ");
Serial.println(yAxis);
Serial.print("Z: ");
Serial.println(zAxis);
}
delay(1000); // Wait for a second before taking the next measurement
}
