Hi,

I have installed the HMC-5883L and it works fine with the code on the lt works fine with the code from http://learn.parallax.com/KickStart/29133.
[h=1][/h]Now that I have the x,y,z metrics how to I translate this to information that I can use to find or put my robot in the correct heading?

Regards,

Here's some more code that might tease out more useful information for you:

I looked mostly at the serial terminal readings (for North, South, East, West and everything in between), but I imagine your code could just as easily read that.

Some code of mine that used that: http://tymkrs.tumblr.com/post/24613586534/owl-code-evolution-v-01-part-ii

Hope this helps a little?

Now I can start with some action!
