the 2° come from here http://robinsnest.de/marcie/marcie_e.html

but this one hasn't been modified to be useable with the RCX


I know about the one from hitechnicstuff, but it's not accurate enough:
"The heading is calculated about 6 times per second and has an accuracy
of approximately 5 degrees."

the above one is more accurate but can't (yet) be used with RCX.

Hello!



Is there a very accurate (max. +/-2°) compass sensor that can be used
with the RCX?

I don't know about the two degrees, but Hitechnic has a nice digital
compass. 100 levels will give 3.6 degrees per count, assuming a perfect
world - no nearby magnetic sources (motors being a good one) and no
disturbances in the earth's magnetic field (big ore deposits, etc).

THANKS!
