Resources and Going Further

This is a nifty little sensor for orientation, but you may want to go beyond the simple compass that this library allows. You can use an accelerometer in conjunction with this device to create a tilt-compensated compass. SparkFun has a variety of accelerometers available, including the ADXL345.

To get you started in the right direction, here are a few application notes that go into more detail about this:

• Calibration of an eCompass - NXP Application Note

• Tilt Compensated Compass w/ Magnetometer and Accelerometer - NXP Applicatio Note
