Include - Wire.h

This code configures an Arduino to communicate with an HMC5883 magnetometer over I2C to continuously read magnetic field data from its three axes. It sets the I2C address and register for continuous measurement mode, then in a loop reads the 6 bytes of x, y, z axis data from register 3, combining the 2 bytes for each value, and prints the results to the serial monitor every 500ms.
