This is the Revision A verion of the
CompassDT1 RoboBrick. The status of this project is
work in progress.
CompassDT1 Robobrick (Revision A)
This document is also available in
PDF format.
The CompassDT1 RoboBrick is a RoboBrick that
can be used to connect to a
Devantech
CMPS01 compass module. This compass uses two
Philips KMZ10A megnetic field sensors to measure
the direction accurate to 0-3599 (i.e. .01 degree
accuracy.) Please note that the magnetic field
inside a build can be off by 10's of degrees.
{To be written}
The hardware consists of a circuit schematic and
a printed circuit board.
The schematic for the CompassDT1 RoboBrick is shown below:
