## Description

Expand your NXT experiences with the new NXT Compass Sensor and add accurate navigation to your Mindstorms NXT projects. The NXT Compass Sensor is a digital compass that measures the earth's magnetic field and outputs a value representing the current heading. The magnetic heading is calculated to the nearest 1° and returned as a number from 0 to 359. The NXT Magnetic Compass Sensor updates the heading 100 times per second. The Compass Sensor operates in two modes, Read mode and Calibrate mode. In Read mode, the current heading is calculated and returned each time to the NXT program executes a read command. In Calibrate mode the compass can be calibrated to compensate for externally generated magnetic field anomalies such as those that surround motors and batteries, thereby maintaining maximum accuracy.

Excelent product, I will use it at a WRO competition.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    An advanced sensor
  

*by N***O on Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2013*

This sensor is more advanced when compared to the sensors packaged with the Mindstorms kit, and therefore is more difficult to use in programs.  LeJOS seems to have good support for this sensor.  Note that this sensor cannot be used in FIRST Lego League competitions and the instructions recommend placing it ~4 inches or more from motors and the NXT brick.
