How can I add the Compass Magnetometer Sensor MMC5983MA I2C to my rpi5 titan astro?

Can someone help me set up the Compass Magnetometer Sensor MMC5983MA I2C setting ans how to set up it in overlays?
Thanks Steve

Merged #2134 which initial support for the MMC5983. I do not have this sensor, so you will be testing for the first time. This is also the first sensor I have integrated with code developed by sparkfun. It is supposed to use the Adafruit CircuitPython system.

The magnetometer appears to be returning data properly. Fantastic!

[spames]

Thanks Kim,
Good job! Now do how I use it?

You can now graph the values in the Chart View by configuring the magnetometer data slots in the charts.

The RAW Gauss values for X, Y, and Z will be able to be used in the overlay. It depends on the initial slot configured for the sensor. Assuming you chose slot 10 for sensor A, the X, Y, and Z values will be {sensor_user_10:0.1f} {sensor_user_11:0.1f} and {sensor_user_12:0.1f} respectively.

The magnetometer also has temperature in the 4th slot, you want to use that.
