The Dinsmore Analog Compass Sensor #R1655 outputs a sine-cosine curve pair which may be interpreted by microprocessor, graphs, or other simple system into directional information. The R1655 Sensor requires a regulated 5 volt input and gives a ratiometric output. The rail to rail voltage swing is close to 1.3 volts for both curves.
Sensors are damped to show a return from a 90° displacement in approximately 0.5 – 1.0 seconds.
