Compass Module

View Cart
$32.63

The compass module is a joint project between Liquidware and Modern Device and is available here as an assembled unit. Thanks! -Justin


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.

It comes assembled with a 4-pin male header soldered 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
