To add to that, it seems like the default pin assignment and documentation is incorrect. At least for the dev board I have (HiLetgo) and for all references I've found online,
SCL is on pin 5 and SDA is on pin4
If anyone experiences issues finding the device on the bus, ensure you've got the correct pins assigned. Thanks to the author for posting this reference code!
@uraich > Hi, I know, this is already pretty old , but I wanted to pull your attention to a very small error: In line 30: i2c.writeto_mem(30, 0x00, pack('B', 0b111000)) should read: i2c.writeto_mem(30, 0x00, pack('B', 0b1111000)) (0x78 instead of 0x38) The program works fine nevertheless only that the average is 2 instead of 8.
From my read of the datasheet and comments, the value should be 0b1110000 (0x70) not 0x78 (unless you want the output rate at 75 Hz instead of the 15 Hz default from the comment)

I have written a complete hcm5883 driver for a course on IoT and had quite a few problems with it. Looking at your code helped me a lot to find a bug I would probably not have found otherwise. Starting from a worrking program makes things so much easier. Thanks a lot.
