Hello!
I am a student and we used the app for a physics lab experiment. We measured Earth's magnetic field with the magnetometer.
With your group we were wondering how the magnetometer exactly works: does it only measure the absolute value of the magnetic field and then it derives the various components or, what we think is more likely, does it measure the three components and the absolute value is the vectorial sum of them?
Or maybe it measures all four of them?
We need to understand this for error propagation specifically.
Thankyou in advance!
