Using the Sure DC SS503V100 with EZB4 from EZ-Robots
Using UART Communication
We will be using these pins on the Sure Compass
Pin 3 (RX) on Compass to the (TX) pin on EZB4 UART
Pin 4 (TX) on Compass to the (RX) pin on EZB4 UART
Pin 5 (OPT) on Compass to the (3.3v) pin on EZB4 UART
OPT is set HIGH by adding the 3.3v to change the device from I2C to UART communication.
Pin 22 (+3.3v) on Compass to the (3.3v) pin on EZB4 UART
Pin 24 (Gnd) on Compass to the (Gnd) pin on EZB4 UART
This is all the wireing needed. I'm not sure how long the wires can be but i have tested it with 4 foot of wire and had not issues with it.
(updated video)
A little video showing the scripts in action.
Also you can get all the code from the public cloud.
Hope this helps.

I have no clue yet to as what to name my bots, but I do know someone should probably ban me from EBay! I will end up...

Thanks for this. Testing it now.
Rock on , Let me know how it goes. I'm working on a better example of using Arduino board as i2c device for multiple sensors.
Seem to read good but since i have it on a six . moving the bot and looping here causes slow reactions. If i was using a dc motor controller that would not be issue . I will work it out later and see what can be done.
Are you having any issues sending or receiving any unsigned chr through the UART.. I'm finding that I can't send any value over 177. If I do the value sent or received is 63. I have no issues sending unsigned chr with my arduino.
I have not tried that but will do. Im about 2 steps a way from that side of the code. I have been working on a tutorial for using and arduono as an i2c Sensor Controller
Ill post a link here soon as i have it up .
@Luis Vazquez, what is the title in the cloud? Can't seem to find it. Anyone?
