EtherCompass 1.0

EtherCompass has been developed to display the output of a Fluxgate Compass Connected to your Computers Serial Port.

Confirmed to work well with SX2 or Basic Stamp coupled with the Hitachi HM55B Magnetic Field Sensor.

This simple fluxgate compass is a device that employs two small coils of wire around a core of non-linear magnetic material, to directly sense the direction of the horizontal component of the earths Magnetic Field.

So where does the "Ether" part come in to play? Well, it is used as a remote direction component for sensors mounted remotely.
