Just taken delivery of a MMC5603 module.
Running on a Pi5
Previoulsy I have installed piicodev into my virtual environment and am currently successfully running PiicoDev ultrasonic modules.
I’ve followed the the suggested code for the magnetometer which includes the import “from PiicoDev_MMC5603 import PiicoDev_MMC5603” but I get the error “No module PiicoDev_MMC5603”.
I tried importing PiicoDev_QMC6310 and that imported ok but i got a raft of different issues - I think around addressing - not sure?
Note i2cdetect found the module at 0x30 which I understand is correct.
Anyhoo - any ideas? @Jaryd

Hi Brett,
It looks like the PyPi package needs updating - it should be updated first thing tomorrow morning

Here’s one for you.
The function PiicoDev_MMC5603.read() actually returns the strings “x” , “y” and “z” and not the actual magnetic field strength floats. (_MMC5603.readHeading() works fine).
Cheers,
Brett

Hi Brett, could you please post a screenshot of the output if you print the function directly.
It should output a dictionary of values.

Ok - ignore my post. I worked out it returns type dictionary.
Silly me!

Hi Liam,
Sorry, I posted too early.
I subsequently had a look at the function code on Github and saw that it returned a dictionary.
I am a victim of using a bit of ChatGPT generated code. The more I use ChatGPT the more I realise it’s good but prone to errors.
Cheers
Brett
