how to find direction and measure distance of a compass

Post icon  Posted 09 February 2009 - 05:49 AM

plz i need help on how to write a program to measure direction of a compass and also calculate the distanceBasic Design
 should be able to find the magnetic north,
 the pointing direction should be read from the PC,
 as the chariot moves the pointing figure should always point to the prescribed direction,
Intermediate Design
 as the chariot moves, the distance and direction travelled should be collected and displayed on
a web page
Advance Design
 given a description of a trajectory on the PC (eg. move 10cm { north, move 20cm { south west,
etc.) the chariot should execute the prescribed trajectory (with the help of an electric motor,
hand, etc.).
{ You can also describe the trajectory as a set of instructions, eg. facing north, move 10cm
north, then turn left, carry on for another 4cm, turn right (or turn to 11 o'clock)
