3.4. EXAMPLE PROGRAMS
Download the following test programs from the Penguin product page at
each Penguin subsystem is working properly. Complete code listings are also included in this document.
Once you are familiar with the I/O capabilities of the Penguin, the following programs can be used to
demonstrate all of the Penguins abilities. Download from the Penguin product page at www.parallax.com.
3.5. COMPASS CALIBRATION
To improve the accuracy of the compass, the calibration routines for the Hitachi HM55B Compass Module
have been ported to the Penguin. With the calibrated compass routines added to the Penguin's control
code, extra RAM and code space is required. Separate versions of the following programs have been
created to allow for either more available resources or a more accurate compass.
Before the calibrated compass routines can be used, Penguin-CompassCalibration.bpx must be run to
record the compass calibration data.
