Indicates wiring for RGBpixel LEDs, as opposed to ShiftBrite
Code
The following will give a compass heading via serial monitor
/* CMPS03 with arduino I2C example This will display a value of 0 - 359 for a full rotation of the compass. The SDA line is on analog pin 4 of the arduino and is connected to pin 3 of the CMPS03. The SCL line is on analog pin 5 of the arduino and is conected to pin 2 of the CMPS03. Both SDA and SCL are also connected to the +5v via a couple of 1k8 resistors. A switch to callibrate the CMPS03 can be connected between pin 6 of the CMPS03 and the ground. */ #include <Wire.h> #define ADDRESS 0x60 //defines address of compass void setup(){ Wire.begin(); //conects I2C Serial.begin(9600); } void loop(){ byte highByte; byte lowByte; Wire.beginTransmission(ADDRESS); //starts communication with cmps03 Wire.write(2); //Sends the register we wish to read Wire.endTransmission(); Wire.requestFrom(ADDRESS, 2); //requests high byte while(Wire.available() < 2); //while there is a byte to receive highByte = Wire.read(); //reads the byte as an integer lowByte = Wire.read(); int bearing = ((highByte<<8)+lowByte)/10; Serial.println(bearing); delay(100); }
