Always looking at doing small upgrades here and there, I have set my eyes on the compass on my quad.
The GPS unit that I have installed includes a HMC5883L compass.
I have noticed there is quite a few options as far as I2C compatible compasses go.
The MPU9250 is the one I have my eye on. I have also found this is commonly used on some "clone" pixhawk units. I believe the 9250 includes a gyro as well, but the MPU6050 is the chipset that does the compass functions, which is included in the MPU9250.
The cost is quite low, about 10-15 dollars for the MPU9250.
So my questions are as follow:
A) Is the MPU9250 (MPU6050) better then the HMC5883L?
B) Anything else low priced that is better then the HMC5883L?
Thanks!
