6-Axis Compass with SiRFstar3 Chipset

• Voltage Range is +2.8 to +3.15 volts, confined by GPS chipset.
• Substitution of 3-Axis Accel, ADC, and Magnetic Sensors can be permitted for brand preferences, cost concerns, and layout. Host controller may have onboard ADC channels to further minimize chip count and costs.
• Keep the layout tight to minimize extra supply decoupling capacitors. A 10uf reservoir capacitor is recommended if supply (battery, regulator) is more than 2 inches away.
