A 3-axis compass can’t be implemented without tilt compensation; a tilt sensor is required to perform this function in addition to the magnetometers. For evaluation purposes the CommBoard can use the micromag3 in two modes, as a 2-axis compass ignoring the z-axis sensor or as a 3-axis magnetometer in raw mode.
