' Penguin senses compass direction and plots a detailed virtual
' display on the debug screen. This happens with six functions.

' 1) The actual numerical compass value is displayed
' 2) The value is scaled
' 3) A rounding routine increases the scaled numerical accuracy
' 4) The scaled value is reported
' 5) Virtual compass graphics are created
' 6) The value is plotted

' Penguin uses "Real Time Data Plotter" to handle the data stream
' and plots the most current value on the Debug screen in a virtual
' compass readout. The data point is displayed 16 milliseconds,
' then erased and a new data point follows.
