I got one a little while ago. It's pretty cool. With that, and one rotation
sensor, I was able to make a robot that could navigate a pre-defined course around
my house.
I'm not sure what chip is used, but I doubt you'll get better accuracy with raw
values.
I was just checking out the HiTechnic web site <http://www.hitechnic.com>. They
must have just redone it, because it looks like they're planning on making compasses
for the NXT, too.
I think he knows something... :)
