A digital Compass Module to add to your projects. Great with Arduino!
This is a fully integrated compass module that combines the Honeywell HMC6352 2-axis magneto-resistive sensors with the required analog and digital support circuits, microprocessor and algorithms for heading computation. No SMT Soldering required.
It comes with a 4-pin male header you can solder on.The Compass Sensor is fully integrated with the Antipasto Arduino IDE and can provide compass headings in degrees over Arduino serial.
Applications * Homebrew virtual reality & gaming systems * Robotics and dead reckoning navigation systems * Compassing & outdoor sports * GPS confirmation * Antenna positioning
