HELP with compass/ping)) code!!!

Hey, I'm Matt and I'm relatively new to programming. I have a science fair coming up and I recently bought a Hitachi Compass Module to direct my robot in a certain direction. I was wondering if any of you have any ideas? My robot is similar to the boebot except the body of the robot is plexi-glass. It runs the Board of Education and a BS2 and it has two continuous rotation futaba servos for mobility.

Thanks,

Matt.

    Read the manual that comes with the compass, go to the parallax site on the compass sales page for examples and read the boe-bot book for more ideas.

    Most Parallax products have links to documentation and sample code on the webstore page for the product. The compass and PING have lots of links.

    Hello Matt!

    In addition to product documentation, we also have a free download of out Smart Sensors and Applications text available from our site. Chapter 4 contains in depth information on how to calibrate and operate the Hitachi Compass Module. You can download the text at the link below:
