Where is the hmc5883l library in circuit Python?

Post by skspurling »

I have a combination sensor that includes the hmc5883l, but there was never a library ported into Blinka for this chip. I know you have probably moved on to newer and better chips, but this thing is not uncommon in peoples parts boxes. Would it be so hard to port the old driver into it?

It may be because the board is older and discontinued. But I've opened an issue for this here:
https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/issues/5399
as a general request. No guarantee it'll lead to an actual library though. But keep an eye on that thread to see what happens.
