I am using the HMC5883L digital compass to get the north,east,south,west directions. (0 degrees - 360 degrees).
[compass connected to atmega32, atmega32 connected to LCD]

When i get a magnet close to the magnetometer (compass), distortion happens on the heading (output), and when i move away the magnet from the magnetometer the header doesnt return back to its correct value. (no set/reset occurs)

Although the datasheet says set/reset is controlled automatically.

This is the Product

(Datasheet available in the link)

Any solutions?
