Magnetic sensor orientation
When pointing the positive side to east or west, the value
should be close to 0 µT.
When pointing the positive side to the north, the value
should be close to 30 µT.
When pointing the positive side to the south, the value
should be close to –30 µT.
The Panda magnetic field sensor has the ability to
measure magnetic field in three different axes (X, Y and
Z). The figure below demonstrates the axes.

It is important to work in an environment with minimal
metals, since they can influence the sensor's value.
