RM3100 overview

Optimize your drone’s navigation with the RM3100, a ready-to-use, high-performance 3-axis magnetometer designed for accurate heading and orientation in demanding environments.

Powered by PNI’s magneto-inductive technology, it eliminates magnetic noise, even from motor coils and metal components, so your drone can reliably follow waypoints and maintain precise course correction.

No more toilet bowling

My drone was spinning during loiter mode with old LIS3MDL compass. Swapped to RM3100 and it holds perfectly still now.

Great sensor

Arrived well packaged. Magnetometer response speed and accuracy are remarkable.

Plug and play with Cube

Connected directly to I2C2 port on Cube Orange, instant recognition. Smooth flight test, i recommend

Perfect for heavy lifter drone

8 motors producing big magnetic field had no effect on rm3100 position heading

good but price a bit high

Performance is 5/5, price is slightly high but considering performance loss without it i guess it pays off.

Very stable heading readings

Drastic reduction in EKF yaw errors in ArduCopter. definitely worth the extra cost over cheap compasses.

rm3100 magnetometer

Replaced my noisy internal compass. easy setup on I2C bus

Perfect for precision navigation

Heading doesn't wander at all when throttle is maxed out. Very happy with purchase.

Clean PCB layout

Hardware quality is top grade. Small board size easily fits in small drone.

Essential for ardupilot rovers

If you build ground rovers near iron/steel chassis this is mandatory as it makes a huge difference in heading stability

It Works fine but wire was short

The mag sensor is super precise. I just wished the included jst cable was 10cm longer for large frame quad

L

saves my navigation heading

we had severe compass variance errors near high voltage power lines. rm3100 handled it without dropping EKF.

Good module easy to calibrate

QGroundControl picked it up over i2c immediately. calibration pass on first try. 5 stars.

Viktor N.
best compass for autonomous drones period

PNI RM3100 technology is far superior to hall effect compasses. zero drift after temp changes.

No magnetic interference anymore!!

Finally fixed magnetic offset errors on my quad. motor noise completely gone compared to built-in compass.
