I'm looking for some kind of filter, algorithm which will allow me to compensate gyro yaw drift using heading of magnetometer. My project requires only yaw measurments and both sensors are flat. Is there any simple solution or i need to dig into more complicated filtering?

I've got acc in my system but i think it's not necessary for this task.

Your best would be using the Madgwick filter, as its already implemented in several languages and programs. Yaw, pitch or roll can then be easily called from the filter.

Follow the link to a description from adafruit and their library.

  • $\begingroup$ As far as i know , madgwick filter can be used only when accel is present and needed and that's not my case. I want to fuse only gyro and mag data $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ You dont need mag data to fuse with for gyro drift...however does the chip you have, not have accel built in? Or is this an exercise in developing a technique for explicitly gyro and mag? You say you have acc, gyro and mag..i dint see why you wouldnt use all three for a more robust system. $\endgroup$
