Designing a Digital Compass

[adewarda]

My project is to design digital compas. It would read in a value from the sensor (1490 dinsmore sensor interface with 68hc11 microcontroller) display it on the alphanumeric display. One of eight possible directions can be displayed: N, NE, E etc...
Perhaps get some advised or suggestion schemetic and programming

I'm sure there are a hundred PIC projects on the web that use a dinsmore compass.

You can take a look at this Zilog app note for using the Z8 Encore with a dinsmore part. https://www.electro-tech-online.com/custompdfs/2005/07/an0165.pdf It maybe helpful.
