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.; ;Make LEGO robots that know which way to drive;Accurate digital compass;HiTechnic - the only complete range of LEGO Certified NXT sensors ensuring safety and quality; HiTechnic NXT Compass Sensor for LEGO Mindstorms NXT
