Wire vs. Wire1, still needs to be sorted out. ChatGPT has some tests to clarify which I will try after this commit. Magnetometer is on Wire and RTC is on Wire1, this apparently conflicts with the documentation. Getting values, though when I rotated both standing up and sideways, I did not see values ranging from 0-360.

## Bottom Line ## Bottom Line
The examples are enough to establish that this sensor is suitable for a live heading and magnetic field display exercise. The only caution is that the example labeled "calibration" is session-local unless we explicitly persist the offsets. The first useful deliverable for this exercise should therefore be a per-unit magnetometer assay plus a serial real-time monitor, followed by persistent calibration storage and then an OLED compass view.
