Hello I am Lochan and currently doing by Major in CS from SRM university India, In the module hmc5883l.py , at line number 95 compass = hmc5883l(gauss = 4.7, declination = (-2,5)); you have mentioned how to calculate declination angle but did not mention anything about the gauss, may i know what this gauss value is and how do we set it , or how does it vary. Thanks in advance and sorry for disturbing you. :) ..!!

U can see the gain values here (Line 16 to be specific): image
