FAQ about Honeywell Magnetic Sensors
Q. When using the HMR3500 or HMR3601 compass I've started experiencing a large heading error. What is causing this?
A. The compass may have been exposed to a large magnetic field and the components could be retaining a magnetic field that is being superimposed on the heading output. Refer to application note AN221 for more information.

Q. Can components on my Printed Circuit Board (PCB) bring some perturbation to onboard magnetic sensors?
A. Yes, many components contain ferrous materials. Nickel plating is the most common culprit and is present on lead frames of integrated circuits and solder end caps of surface mount components. Other components such as power transistors may have packages with large amounts of iron in the heat spreading elements. Also, beware of the location of NiCd (Nickel-Cadnium) batteries, and speaker/microphone elements using permanent magnets.
