hi there, hope I am posting in the right place...
im trying to calculate the direction of magnetic north, using electronic curcuits.
what i want to do is have a board with a circle of led lights and when i place the board in different places; the light pointting to the direction of north should light up.
i can work out all the electronic, what I am stuck with is how to calculate the magnetic north.
ive looked into fluxgate, but they are to diffcult to build, is there any way of doing this with a hall sensor, or any other components.
i just need a idea to get me going...
thanks alot...
regards
