magnetometer measurement results increase temp?

kessero opened this issue · 1 comments

he magnetometer readings after 30-60 minutes begin to trigger false alarms. Magnitude is growing. It looks like the effect of temperature. The test stand is not disturbed by the presence of metals or sensor movement. Only the temperature changes. It doesn't matter if temperature compensation is on or off. Measurements are made every 10 ms. I understand that the results will have some deviations but eventually the value increases. Does the magnetometer need to be calibrated by rotation for such a measurement? The sensor will not be used in vehicles, I only need to measure magnitude. How does temperature compensation work on this sensor?
