Most are built on RP2040/RP2350 (2) and ESP32 (1).

How big is a typical board using the QMC5883L?

The median is 26.5 × 25 mm, and 50% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the QMC5883L?

By GitHub stars, PcbBot by BerkeleyHCI, with 91 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the QMC5883L before building it?

Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
