Magnetic FieldSensor

The MagneticFieldSensor component detects changes in the Earth's magnetic field along three axes (x, y, z). It's a non-visible sensor that provides information about the device's orientation and the strength of the magnetic field.

Overview

A non-visible component that can measure the magnetic field along three axes in μT.
