Another thing to watch for is the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field. If the devantech compass is tilted much more than 10 degrees (though I...
Thanks, Ill mount it about 2 feet from the motors, and probably will average the readings before I attempt a course correction. Chris ... magnetic ... degrees...
You may get better results if you take a magnetic compass and play with it around your bot. Some people have found that placing the compass directly between...
