Its here as one of the controls of the ARC software. I noticed it wail working with the ezb v3. and was wondering if it is still the recommended hardware for the ezb 4 as i would like to add one to Hexi and JD.

here is on on Ebay

somone will answer your question,i gess iff its still availeble it will work whit ez-b4 to i gess.

ah magnetic sensors.love it.

That compass will always be supported, but we have been looking into a few others and have not made a decision yet.

Many addons are being developed which will be released before Christmas

GPS. Compass. Localized positioning system. Ez smart servos. Accelerometer. Gyro. And a few adapter boards to support/dominate other products.

I think a gyro would be better than a compass for precise turning... Unless you need to turn to a precise heading, in which case a GPS would be better...

@DJ... Hmmm, can't wait for your Localized positioning system and the Ez smart servos sound very intriguing...

Dj, your team and your self should make like an Ez-Neural Network for artificial intelligence. I think that would be awesome

Actually gps can't tell what direction you are facing unless you are moving at least 1km/hr. That is why most modern Gps and smartphones have electronic compasses. Many will auto calibrate the compass when you are moving, so if they lose calibration from magnetic interference they will get it back automagically.

Thanks Alan... forgot about that... I should have remember being that I have a couple of handheld GPS units that I use....

Not to mention GPS doesn't work too well indoors
