The CMPS03 from Devantech is an accurate magnetic compass,
specifically designed for use in robots as an aid to navigation.
The compass uses the Philips KMZ51 magnetic field sensor, which
is sensitive enough to detect the Earth's magnetic field. The
output from two of them mounted at right angles to each other is
used to compute the direction of the horizontal component of the
Earths magnetic field. The bearing may be retrieved from the
module in one of two ways; either using its PWM signal or its I2C
interface.
An I2C interface is available on many popular microcontrollers
such as the
BASIC
Stamp BS2P and may be easily implemented on most PIC
microcontrollers using either the
PicBasic or
PicBasic Pro
compiler.
Examples of using the CMPS03 module with a wide range
of popular controllers may be found
here.
