About the module
$20-25 compass module for embedded systems. SMD will be cheaper.
Testing with the BusPirate
Settings:
- M (mode)
- 8 (3-wire raw)
- 4 (400KHz)
- 2 (3.3V high)
- W (turn on 5V output)
Reset

The delay may not be needed.
Take sample
1100 is the response for success, 00xx is for incomplete, xx11 is error, see p9 of datasheet)

Note that &:50000 isn't enough of a delay, but && works, presumably because BusPirate parser adds a huge delay. This means that we don't know how fast this module can be clocked, because each ! will be > 50ms apart.
The BusPirate wiki suggests this will work (since we've determined that it still provides the 22 sample bits even if the reading is incomplete):
\[0b0000 &] [0b1000 && ]&[& 0b1100 r:4]
Sample readings:
0,-6
-1,-11
-1,-19
