I have decided to build a handheld digital compass for orienteering, with altitude and temperature functions. I haven’t used a compass in decades, and some folks have never used one, so I thought I’d post a link to a great
One of the goodies I received from Hacktronics the other day is the HDPM01 module. The HDPM01 module includes a pressure module and a compass module. Apparently, there is also a barometer and a temperature sensor on this module. The

This past weekend I picked up a very handy gadget, a Helping Hand. Two adjustable alligator claws to hold circuit boards or small work pieces, a holder for my soldering iron, and a LED lighted magnifier make my Arduino experimentations
A box arrived from Hacktronics today. Inside was 4 1w RGB LED’s, 3 LM317 voltage regulators, 10a Power MOSFETS, 7 npn transistors, resistors, a compass module, 5 potentiometers, and a 12vdc 1a ac adaptor. Over the next few days I’ll
