| This great little compass was designed
by
Robot Electronics specifically for use in robots
to aid navigation. The compass uses the Philips KMZ51
magnetic field sensor, which is sensitive enough to
detect the Earth's magnetic field. Two of them mounted
at right angles to each other can be used to compute
the direction of the horizontal component of the Earth's
magnetic field. |
