Setelah mengalami riset dan percobaan selama 3 bulan, akhirnya si kompas digital CMPS10 berhasil menunjukkan fungsinya. Cukup dicolok ke Arduino Uno, lalu ditampilin di LCD 16×2. Saya menggunakan template kode dari kang James Henderson di http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/files/arduino_cmps10.ino. Saya mengubah kode untuk LCD nya dari LCD03 ke LCD 16×2 biasa. Disini ada beberapa mode, si kompas bisa menunjukkan arahnya berapa derajat gitu, bisa menunjukkan pitch dan rollnya juga. Saya menambahkan pembagian 8 arah mata anginnya juga. Hardware dirangkai oleh mas Muhammad Faqih Ulum.
