Detailed Description

HiTechnic NXT Compass.

This class alows access to a HiTechnic NXT Compass on an I2C bus. These sensors to not allow changing addresses so you cannot have more than one on a single bus.

Details on the sensor can be found here: http://www.hitechnic.com/index.html?lang=en-us&target=d17.html

Todo:

Implement a calibration method for the sensor.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

HiTechnicCompass::HiTechnicCompass ( uint8_t  moduleNumber )

explicit

Constructor.

Parameters

moduleNumber

The digital module that the sensor is plugged into (1 or 2).

HiTechnicCompass::~HiTechnicCompass ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

float HiTechnicCompass::GetAngle

(

void

)

Get the compass angle in degrees.

The resolution of this reading is 1 degree.

Returns

Angle of the compass in degrees.
