Hi!

I’d like to know how obtain data from the Magnetometer alone, and log this alongside the rest of the data as specified in the guide.

Thanks!

Depending on what data you want to log, you can grab XYZ magnitudes from the magnetometer, or a compass heading. See the docs here: [http://docs.pimoroni.com/envirophat/#motion](http://docs.pimoroni.com/envirophat/#motion)
