Good sensor, calibration needed

The hardware works well but the magnetometer requires careful calibration for accurate heading data. Once set up, it performs reliably.

Easy library integration

Found open-source libraries for ESP32 easily. Got the raw data streaming within an hour of unboxing. Great for rapid prototyping.

Solid industrial grade sensor

Noise levels are low enough for our balancing robot. Wish the breakout board had mounting holes included, but overall quality is high.
