[PSUBS-MAILIST] Compass Choice

[Alan James]

Hi Jon,
I found this off the shelf unit for $250- (made in USA) It is designed for marine applications
& has yaw, pitch & roll which is a G.L. requirement. So it's looking attractive.

It looks like I would have to run it off a computer though, which I didn't want to do,
but may be forced down this path. 
Alan

A tilt-compensated electronic compass (three axis, plus three axis 
accelerometer) would work connected to a small microcontroller like the 
Arduino UNO.  The HMC6352 was the standard but Honeywell stopped 
producing them.  There are others however but probably more expensive.  
The display could be a nice four digit LED (under two inches).
