Summary of Build A TinyCompass Using Arduino
This project guides building a compass using TinyDuino components, specifically the TinyShield Compass and Circle Edge LED shield. It requires installing the proper drivers before programming via the codebender plugin to detect COM ports. The project uses TinyDuino hardware powered by a CR1632 coin cell battery, allowing for straightforward programming without additional downloads.
Parts used in the TinyCompass project:
- TinyDuino Processor with Battery Holder
- TinyShield USB
- TinyShield Compass
- TinyShield Circle Edge LEDs
- CR1632 3V coin cell battery
In this Instructable, we will be building a compass using the TinyShield Compass as well as the Circle Edge Led shield. Before starting, the proper drivers must be installed to detect the COM ports. These drivers must be installed before downloading any codes from the codebender plugin. The drivers needed can be found here.
Lucky for us there are no downloads for this project, we can simply use the codebender plugin to directly program our TinyDuino.
