Hello gang!
I had an idea this morning and put together this little project. I have a few Sure Compasses around and wanted to see ways to use them.
The video is simple and explains how to use it.
If you have any questions post them here and I will answer them.
it return an angle: form 000 to 359
for example 000 is due north 180 would be south
so 090 would be due east so some where about 045 would be North East and 135 would be South East and so on and 270 would be due west
If this is not clear please let me know.
As far as liking the sure compass? I purchased them because the were the ones supported by the EZ-robot documents and ARC , but after evaluating the product I do not think I will purchase this model again.
The I2c on it is week and accepts a lot of noise from near by electronics. I have found others that are more consistent and have stronger i2c that allows for longer cables and consistent readings.
Thank you Luis. That makes sense.
Luis, That is an awesome little project! Your "how to" videos are great. I modified your previous "RiversideDriveCam" script to bring up local SkyCams. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Steve S
Your welcome @Steve S. I just posted one on creating an led display for EZB4
