This week I’m working with some more products from Parallax Electronics<\/a>. I’ve spent several hours at the bench figuring out how to get the Compass Module to display it’s readings to 2 x 16 LCD. I started out with the demo code for the compass module and modified it to output to the LCD instead of the serial terminal window. It took quite a bit of trial and error as I learned just what the demo code did and how it needed to be modified for the LCD. In the video you’ll see just what I changed to get it to work!<\/p>\n

This is the board as I had it set up for this project:<\/strong><\/p>\n
