This compass project will help you keep your bearings as you travel north, south, east or west. A Qualia S3 running CircuitPython displays the compass rose on a beautiful round display, and updates your heading in degrees as you wander thanks to a built in magnetometer.
Thanks to the 'everything built in' Qualia board, and Stemma QT sensor, no soldering is required.
There are two options to view the compass: with the compass rose rotating or with your heading rotating. You can switch between the two views by tapping on the touchscreen.
A 9-DoF sensor, mounted behind the Qualia S3, calculates the compass heading using a Mahony AHRS filter from the AHRS CircuitPython library in the Community Bundle.
