We have a nice DE710 digital compass here we bought from Zemco Group, Inc.
It only cost $86. You can easily hack it for analog or digital inputs.
(Many thanks to the MIT mobot lab which is where this reference came from)
However, they seem to have had their phone disconnected.
Anybody know if they are still in business? Directory assistance
for the area does not list them.
The latest info I have on them is:
Zemco Group Inc.
3401 Crow Canyon Rd. Suite 201
San Ramon, CA 94583
(415) 866-7266 FAX: (415) 866-0678
Thanks
