Hi.

Sorry for chiming in on your old thread. I am also evaluating a compass sensor. This sensor have different commands and has calibration commands too. I am making a query - response driver but i am struggling at this point. Is there any good example that I can follow based on your experience? 

Thank you for any help.

Hello,

Have you tried the suggestions mentioned in this thread already? What prolems exactly are you seeing? I don't know if the previous posters are still monitoring this thread since it is so old, but if you provide additional information, that would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi Ebele

Thank you for the reply. Its now okay. I had problem with serial buffering. The thread from spaz about Dave Thompson Serial Tools helped me find the way. Thanks!
