Compass

As part of my Xbee sensor project, I created an object oriented API to access HMC6352 compass functionality and I decided to make it downloadable as an Hmc6352 Arduino Library. Just unzip the file in the $arduino_home/hardware/libraries/. At the end you should end with $arduino_home/hardware/libraries/Hmc6352. The library includes an example on how to use it (in File ⇒ Sketchbook ⇒ Examples ⇒ Library-Hmc6352 ⇒ Hmc6352. The example looks like this (also available as gist): ...

I finally put together an Arduino Pro Mini, the XBee, the MMA7260Q, the HMC6352, the TEMT6000 and the DS1620. This is how it looks like on the prototyping board (ugly, I know) Hopefully it would look better when I move it to the PCB. But before doing that I need to get the battery power set up. (I’m waiting for a MAX756 DC-DC voltage regulator and CoilCraft inductors to arrive) ...
