Compass module leveling apparatus
Is anyone aware of a weighted gimbal that may help keep the compass chip level? I’m building a GPS guided hobby-scaled-boat and have rigged a one-axis weighted swivel that helps a lot, but perhaps needs a two-axis to allow more accurate sampling.
The only ones I found were large, expensive, heavy and for marine applications.![smhair.gif](http://forums.parallax.com/images/smilies/smhair.gif)

I'll check into it.
Thanks
You could even reuse the gimbal of a broken magnetic compass for boats. i.e. for loosing the liquid, wich is the most common compasses failure.
should be easy to find some in shipyard stores.....................
