All of the compass devices I can find are ridiculously expensive, but yet you find them in watches for around 20 bucks. Anyone know of a good fairly precise digital compass that can be used with a microcontroller? Im hoping to find something with better than 2 degrees of accuracy, but not out of my programming skills to attach to a PIC (the whole reason I cannot use the resistors by themselves [:P] ) Thanks for any input, Brian [/quote]    Insert an Image File (GIF, JPG, JPEG, BMP, ZIP, PNG) Check here to include your profile signature.
