Compass

I was looking at the Parallax implementation of the Hatichi compass and had some questions.· I couldn't find any information regarding the board outline dimensions or pin locations.· I would like to put this on a PCB and didn't want to mess that up.· Also does the compass work upside down?· Any help with this product would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Amit

    L = .5", W = .44", H = .45" (Including pins).· As for working upside down...In theory I guess I could, but it would read everything in reverse like a mirror image on one axis·if it did.

    Chris,

    Thanks for the info!· But for the PCB i would need a diagram of the pin locations or something of the sort so that I could place the thru-holes in the right location.· Anyone have any information on this?

    Thanks!

    It works upside down as well as right side up.
