BMM150 Geomagnetic Sensor
#########################
Overview
********
This sample application periodically reads magnetometer (X, Y, Z) data from
the first available device that implements SENSOR_CHAN_MAGN_* (predefined array
of device names). This sample checks the sensor in polling mode (without
interrupt trigger).
Building and Running
********************
This sample application uses an BMM150 sensor connected to a board via I2C.
Sensor has multiple pins so you need to connect according to connection diagram given in
`bmm150 datasheet`_ at page 41.

Sample Output
=============
To check output of this sample , any serial console program can be used.
Here I am using picocom program to open output. Check which tty device it is.
In my case it is ttyACM0
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo picocom -D /dev/ttyACM0
.. code-block:: console
( x y z ) = ( -0.390625 0.087500 -0.390625 )
( x y z ) = ( -0.275000 0.115625 -0.275000 )
( x y z ) = ( -0.281250 0.125000 -0.281250 )
( x y z ) = ( -0.287500 0.134375 -0.287500 )
