How to make a digital compass using RDCM-802

Post by Neo » Sat Aug 06, 2011 3:53 pm

The RDCM-802 Compass Module is a miniature low-cost orientation-sensing building block suitable for industrial, scientific or hobbyist applications. The module determines the direction in terms of the eight principal compass points, and outputs the result as a 3-bit binary code. The entirely solid-state device contains no moving parts and no coils.

Simple logic circuit to demonstrate the operation.
