Documented architecture

Conceptual acquisition path: HMC5883L magnetometer to I2C acquisition to heading data. Separately documented responsibilities are sensor setup, heading access and output; routine order is not established.
Conceptual interface overview from project notes. Named routines belong to separate third-party examples; a combined execution order, original library authorship and calibration results are not established. View diagram at full size

Technical notes

Third-party foundation

The archived material includes a Love Electronics/bildr driver and separate compass examples. This entry documents reference and integration scope.

Separate examples

setupHMC5883L() and getHeading() appear in one example; Output() appears in another. They are example-level routines, not a single custom library API.

Project scope

The available package does not establish project-specific changes, a delivered revision or measured calibration results.
