5 open source boards using the LIS3MDL

Real designs built with the LIS3MDL, from public GitHub projects: a quick way to see how others power, decouple and connect it. Each board comes with its KiCad files, full parts list and a render — and you can simulate its firmware on HardLabs.

Microcontrollers on boards using the LIS3MDL

What boards using the LIS3MDL are built for

LIS3MDL: common questions

Where can I find a LIS3MDL reference design?

Each of the 5 boards on this page is a real design using the LIS3MDL. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.

Which microcontrollers do boards using the LIS3MDL use?

Most are built on ESP32 (3) and STM32 (2).

How big is a typical board using the LIS3MDL?

The median is 56.6 × 100 mm, and 40% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the LIS3MDL?

By GitHub stars, MIDAS MK1 by ISSUIUC, with 31 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the LIS3MDL 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.
