Digital Compass Module Calibration CMPS03

Since puchaing the CMPS03 compass module and attaching it to the stamp I have never got any good readings. The readings are going from 220 to 80 deg, then going back to 220 as if it is not calibrated. Has anyone else experieced this.

Also I have tried to calibrate it away from any metalalic objects so I do not get any interference, but still does almost the same.

Anyone with suggestions would be helpful.

Cheers Gogs.

    What code are you using and how did you go about calibrating it?

    Do you have any sources of EM nearby, like a monitor or other devices?

    Problem solved. The code is from the manufacturer. The calibration procedure is also from the manufacturer. Also I made sure there were no sources of EM nearby.

    Also if anyone has had problems with this specific unit I can tell them why and hopefully fix the problems.
