B4R Code Snippet Compass - magnet sensor group xxx5883

There are many versions of compass chip with 5883 number in the name.
Initial Honeywell's chipset was HMC5883L with the i2c address = 0x1E.
Also it's known a chinese clone QMC5883 with i2c address = 0x0D. And other versions exist.
Below is the code with universal library that can detect one of 3 chipsets.

Maybe better not to use "HandleNewReading" smoothing.
Actually, the chips are different by the registers and even the orientation: QMC North is along the X+. But HMC North is along Y-.
