I'm trying to use an LIS2MDL ic with an Arduino nano on a custom PCB designed in KiCad. I tried the Arduino example compass script for the ic and it didn't work. It just prints "Magnetometer Test" and nothing else happens

Can you link to the code you're running? Also, if your circuit is more complicated than just the sensor connected to the Arduino, can you show a schematic that can be viewed on mobile without kicad available?
