PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The circuit board for the HMR3200/HMR3300 Digital Compassing Solutions is approximately 1.45 by 1 inches. An 8-Pin
header protrudes down on the rear edge of the compass circuit board for the user electrical interface to the motherboard.
The header pins extend 5/16” below the board plane with the bottom-side mounted magnetic sensor integrated circuits
(HMC1021Z and HMC1022) extending 3/16” below the board plane. Components on the top-side have a maximum height
of 1/8”.
In addition two single pins, identical to the 8 header pins, are placed on the sides toward the forward edge of the circuit
board (HMC1021Z is at the magnetic front or north reference). These single pins are for mechanical mounting and do not
have electrical connections to the compass electronics.
POWER SUPPLY INTERFACE
Rotary switch (SW1) is located near pins 6 and 7, and is used to select the customer provided power supply voltage type.
The HMR3200/3300 is factory set with this switch fully clockwise, for selection of unregulated input (+6 to+15) voltage
from the V+ pin (pin 8). By rotating the switch fully counter-clockwise, users may provide a regulated +5 volt supply to the
+5 pin (pin 6) as an alternative. Incorrect switch settings may cause no response or faulty responses. Upon correct power
application, light emitting diode D2 turns on for about one second afterwards to indicate the execution of the initialization
firmware. Do not use both power inputs simultaneously.
Figure 1 shows a typical HMR3200/HMR3300 circuit board assembly with the basic dimensions.

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
The HMR3200/HMR3300 precision compasses use the ten integrated circuit style pins to plug into compatible
motherboards for electrical interface, and to be orientated mechanically. The pins are nominally 0.030” in diameter and
0.200 in length. Trimming the pin lengths or removing the pins voids the warranty, as Honeywell can not retest the
modified compasses (socketized test fixtures). Wires can be substituted for the pins, but caution should be used in
soldering to not damage the pin solder pads.
The HMC1021Z part is an 8-pin SIP device that is shipped carefully in a nearly perfectly vertical orientation with respect to
the horizontal referenced circuit board. Do not bend or reposition this part, or the factory magnetic calibration will be no
longer valid. Should the part be accidentally bent, return for recalibration is possible or align the part vertical to recapture
most of the accuracy. Correct flat orientation of the compass modules is with the pins pointing downward.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The HMR3200/HMR3300 Digital Compass Solutions include all the basic sensors and electronics to provide a digital
indication of heading. The HMR3200 has all three axis of magnetic sensors on board, but allows the user to select which
www.honeywell.com

HMR3200/3300
pair of sensors for compassing (flat or upright). The HMR3300 uses all three magnetic sensors plus includes an
accelerometer to provide tilt (pitch and roll) sensing relative to the board’s horizontal (flat) position.
The HMR3200/HMR3300 circuit starts with Honeywell HMC1021Z and HMC1022 single and two-axis magnetic sensors
providing X, Y, and Z axis magnetic sensing of the earth’s field. The HMC1022 provides the horizontal components (X and
Y), and HMC1021Z provides the vertical (Z) axis component of the incident magnetic field into cartesian magnitudes at
orthognal angles. These sensors are supplied power by a constant current source to maintain best accuracy over
temperature. The sensor output voltages and constant current sensor supply voltage are provided to a multiplexed 16-bit
Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) integrated circuit. A microcontroller integrated circuit periodically queries the
multiplexed ADC and performs the offset corrections and computes the heading. This microcontroller also performs the
external serial data interface and other housekeeping functions such as the calibration routine. An onboard EEPROM
integrated circuit is employed to retain necessary data variables for best performance.
For the HMR3200, the three magnetic sensors (XYZ) are included and no accelerometer is present. The *L (level) and *U
(upright) are available for horizontal and vertical circuit board orientations respectively. At level, the XY sensors are used
to compute heading; and upright, the YZ sensors are used to compute heading.
For the HMR3300, an additional pair of data inputs from the ±2g accelerometer (Analog Devices ADXL213) is received by
the microcontroller. These tilt inputs (pitch and roll) are added to sensor data inputs to form a complete data set for a three
dimensional computation of heading. If the board is held horizontal, the pitch and roll angles are zero and the X and Y
sensor inputs dominate the heading equation. When tilted, the Z magnetic sensor plus the accelerometer’s pitch and roll
angles enter into heading computation.
The power supply for the HMR3200/HMR3300 circuit is regulated +5 volt design allowing the user to directly provide the
regulated supply voltage or a +6 to +15 volt unregulated supply voltage. If the unregulated supply voltage is provided,
then the linear voltage regulator integrated circuit drops the excess supply voltage to a stable +5 volts. The power supply
is a dual ground (analog and digital) system to control internal noise and maximize measurment accuracy.

APPLICATION NOTES
When To Calibrate
The HMR3200/HMR3300 comes with an optional user hard-iron calibration routine to null modest intensity hard-iron
distortion. For many users in cleaner magnetic environments, the factory calibration will be better and yield more accurate
readings than after a user calibration.
The calibration routine is not cure-all for nasty magnetic environments. If a needle compass is thrown off from true
readings, then it is very likely the HMR3200 and HMR3300 will have poor accuracy too. Most compass error sources
come from ferrous metals (steel, iron, nickel, cobalt, etc.) located too close to the compass location and are known as
soft-irons creating soft-iron distortion. Soft-iron distortion will change the intensity and direction of the magnetic fields on
any nearby compass, and the calibration routine can not remove these flux concentration and bending errors. A good rule
of thumb is to keep soft-irons at least two largest dimensions away from the compass. For example, a half-inch stainless
steel panhead bolt should be at least an inch away from the HMC1021Z and HMC1022 sensor locations.

HMR3200/3300
Other nasty magnetic environments are man-made AC and DC magnetic fields created from nearby motors and high
current conductors. These fields should also require compass or source relocation when possible. In some cases, ferrous
metal shielding may help if the shield material is thin and far enough away from the compass.
Hard-iron distortion can be calibrated out, and is composed of soft-irons that are also magnetized and create remnant
(stray) magnetic flux. Classic hard-iron distortion typically comes from large vehicle chassis components and engine
blocks that have up to ±2 gauss on the parts. Locating the compass away from hard and soft-irons is the first line of
defense to preserve accuracy, and the calibration routine will null out the remaining hard-iron influences.
Calibration Procedure
For the HMR3200, one complete turn in a level plane is the best way to expose the sensors to all headings to compute
the calibration offsets. Since the compass collects data at a 15 samples per second rate, a sample per degree of rotation
or slower is a good guideline. If slow turns are not possible, multiple faster turns are a good substitute. The goodness of
the calibration or the amount of hard-iron present is found by checking the Xof, Yof, and Zof values after the calibration
routine is complete. In known clean magnetic environments, the horizontal values (XY = level, YZ = upright) should be
±200 ADC counts or less in these offset variables. Sending these Xof, Yof, and Zof values back to zero returns the
compass to the factory calibration state. The vertical axis values can be zero set or ignored for the HMR3200.
For the HMR3300, the above described level turns will calibrate the XY axis’, but the Z-axis must also be calibrated as
well One full rotation with as much pitch and roll variation included as application allows. If only mild pitch and roll
variations are possible, complete the level rotations, exit the calibration routine, and force the Zof value to zero. Some
accuracy maybe lost in this zeroing, but the mild tilt would likely never cause serious tilt-compensation heading error.
UART COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
HMR3200/HMR3300 modules communicate through ASCII characters with the * or # characters as start bytes. The data
bit format is 1 Start, 8 Data, 1 Stop, and No parity bits. Factory baud rate is set to 19,200. Asynchronous communication
has the complete menu of commands. Synchronous communication is limited to direct heading queries and no other
commands.
POWER-ON/RESET
The compasses require a hard power-on transition on the power supply voltage to serve as an internal hardware reset
and clock-start. Some bench power supplies may create a soft-start condition and the HMR3200/HMR3300 my react with
a constant-on LED illumination if not reset suddenly. An in-line power supply switch (mechanical or electrical) may be
required when prototyping to avoid soft-starts.
Upon application of power or after a Reset Command, the HMR3200/HMR3300 will run about an 800 milli-second
initialization routine to set the onboard hardware and grab EEPROM variables and shadow them in controller RAM
locations for operation. The LED will illuminate during the routine and extinguish upon completion.
INITIAL STATUS OUTPUT
The HMR3200/HMR3300 will begin sending ASCII characters immediately after the initialization routine ends and the LED
extinguishes. The first line of text will be the model number of the compass and the internal firmware revision number. For
the HMR3300, a second response string will be sent, starting with a # character and either the N, W or A characters. The
#N response indicates normal operation and is the always expected response from the HMR3200. The #W and #A
responses are only for the HMR3300, and indicate the low temperature warning and alarm environments had been
encountered. These responses will be reset to normal when the user sends the pitch and roll re-zero commands to recalibrate the MEMS accelerometer for best tilt-compensation performance and accurate tilt indications.
After initialization, the compasses automatically begin streaming heading or magnetometer output data at 15Hz
(HMR3200) or 8Hz (HMR3300). Users must send a start/stop command (*S) to exit continuous streaming data, and to get
the controller’s full attention to the next commands.

Configuration Commands
Syntax: #Dev=±xxxx<cr><lf> Sets parameter value
#Dev?<cr><lf>
Queries for the parameter value
Variation Input (Declination Angle Correction)
#Var=±nnnn<cr><lf> where the variation is ± nnn.n degrees
Sets the declination angle between magnetic north and geographic north. The declination angle is subtracted
from the magnetic north heading computed to create a geographic north heading. Values typically range in the
±25 degree area. For example New York has a -14 degree declination angle, and Los Angles has a +14 degree
declination angle.
Eg: #Var=-203<cr><lf> sets the declination angle to –20.3 degrees.
Eg: #Var=?<cr><lf>returns the declination angle; –20.3
Deviation Input (Platform Angle Correction)
#Dev=±nnnn<cr><lf> where the angle is ± nnn.n degrees
Sets or returns the angle between compass forward direction and that of the mounting platform. The Deviation
angle is subtracted from the predicted heading to compensate for mechanical misalignment.
Eg: #Dev=23<cr><lf> sets the deviation angle to +2.3 degrees.
Eg: #Dev=?<cr><lf>returns the deviation angle; +2.3
User Magnetic Offset Values (X, Y and Z)
#Xof, #Yof, #Zof
Sets or returns the user offset values for each magnetic axis. These values are recomputed after a calibration
routine. Also fixed offsets can be inserted to correct for known magnetic shifts. Values are in ADC counts.
Eg: #Xof=+47<cr><lf> sets the x offset value to +47.
Eg: #Xof=?<cr><lf> returns the x offset value; +47.
Baud Rate
#Bau
Sets the compass transmit and recieve baud rate. 19200, 9600, 4800 and 2400 are the only allowed values.
Baud rate can not be queried and is sent to the EEPROM to overwrite the present setting. Factory default is
19200.
Eg: #XBau=9600<cr><lf> sets the Baud Rate to 9600 after the next Reset command or power cycle.
System Filter
#SFL
Sets and reads the system IIR filter setting. When the Split Filter bit is cleared, this parameter value will become
the default value for both Magnetic and Tilt Filters. When the Split Filter bit is set, SFL parameter setting will
control the Tilt filter value only. The parameter input is saved in the EEPROM immediately. Requires power
cycling or a Reset command (*R) to become effective. The setting of the Split Filter bit can be queried via the
#CON? command. Values between 0 and 255 are valid, with a factory default of 3. A good reason to increase the
filter value would be in the presence of high mechanical vibration environments.
Eg: #SFL=6<cr><lf> Sets the system filter value of 6.
8
www.honeywell.com
HMR3200/3300
Magnetic Filter
#MFL
The MFL command sets and reads the Magnetic Filter setting. When the Split Filter bit is cleared, this parameter
value will default to the value of SFL, the system filter. When the Split Filter bit is set, MFL parameter setting will
control the Magnetic Filter value. The parameter input is saved in the EEPROM immediately. Requires power
cycling or a Reset command (*R) to become effective. Values between 0 and 255 are valid, with a factory default
of 3. A good reason to increase the magnetic filter value would be the presence of AC magnetic fields from
nearby conductors or motors.
Eg: #SFL=0<cr><lf> Sets the magnetic filter value of zero (no filtering).

Synchronous Communication Protocol
The HMR3200/HMR3300 module controls the synchronous clock (SCK) and synchronous data output (SDO) pins and the
host controller controls synchronous data input (SDI) and chip select (CS) pins. The host controller shall lower the HMR
module’s CS pin for at least 20 microseconds to initiate the SPI communication. In response the HMR module will send
the ASCII bit pattern for 's', and the host shall transmit a valid command character simultaneously. The HMR module will
evaluate the command character received from the host controller and send the appropriate data if the command is
recognized and valid. After transmitting the required data, the HMR module will end the SPI session. If the command is
invalid or was not recognized, then the HMR module will transmit ASCII bit pattern for 'e' and end the SPI session.
SPI Commands
Heading Output: In response to an ASCII H or h command, the HMR3200/HMR3300 shall send two bytes of data. The
MSByte is transmitted first. These two bytes represent the integer value equal to 10*Heading. The MSbit is transmitted
first for each byte. SCK shall be high for 16, and low for 22 microseconds, respectively. There is a 50 microsecond delay
between consecutive bytes transmitted.

COMPASS DEMONSTRATION KIT
The HMR3200 or HMR3300 Demo kit includes additional hardware and Windows software to form a development kit for
electronic compassing. This kit includes the HMR3200 orHMR3300 Printed Circuit Board (PCB) module as a daughter
board, a TTL to RS-232 motherboard with a D9 serial port connector, 6’ serial port cable with attached AC adapter power
supply, and a Windows demo software CD with documentation. The cable is a 4-wire design with pins 2 and 3 NOT
flipped (DTE to DCE, not null modem) with pin 5 as the ground reference. Pin 9 is the unregulated positive voltage
reference and is factory connected to the AC adapter. Either cable side may be used for the compass demo kit or
computer serial port.
The AC adapter is a universal type and factory set for 120 VAC input, 9 volt DC output, and positive polarity. Users can
rewire the cable for battery operation for remote usage. Batteries chosen must apply the required 6 to 15 volt supply
range with at least 24mA current capability. If compact 9 volt batteries are used, it is recommended that two batteries of
the same chemistry be wired in parallel to have reasonable operational life.
The TTL to RS-232 motherboard is designed to handle only unregulated power supply voltages and routes the supply
directly to the V+ pin of the HMR3200 or HMR3300 daughterboard. The electronics on the motherboard convert the RX
and TX 5 volt logic to the ±6 volt RS-232 drive logic for computer serial ports.
