OK, I finally got the prices for the KVH C100 and the Vector 2X electronic
compasses, both referred to as low cost. The KVH is $700, the Vector 2X
is $50. EASY decision, even though the Vector's accuracy isn't as good.
It'll be here tomorrow.
Now, has anyone interfaced the Vector 2X to the Handyboard via the SPI? I
thought I read someone had trouble doing that, and ended up using another
method to communicate.
I want to use the compass to augment my steering signals and keep the
robot trajectory straight despite disturbances.
Thanks for any help!

| (...) I was the one who had the Vector-2X working with the Miniboard not using the SPI bus. I won't try and talk you out of it, it may just work for you. Make sure you get the current documentation from Precision, the original docs I got from them (...) (28 years ago, 6-Aug-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
