sensor.magnetometer.current_reading

sensor.magnetometer.current_reading

This command returns a magnetic induction reading in gauss.

Getvar

To return the magnetic induction reading from the sensor:
sensor.magnetometer.current_reading
Values
The magnetic induction in gauss. If the sensor is not installed, the
getvar
returns
""
.
Example
In the following example, the
getvar
returns the magnetic induction reading from the sensor:
! U1 getvar "sensor.magnetometer.current_reading"
"{"x":-12.3455,"y":1.2345,"z":0.1234}"
The
getvar
returns the magnetic field reading as a vector with x, y, and z components, each in the range of +/-50 gauss.
