This package consists of the compass mast and bracket, electronic compass, and the necessary hardware. It also includes the wire and receptacles to attach it to the OOPic II Expansion Board v2.x or above or the parallel programming port on either the OOPic R or OOPic II.

If you are going to connect to the OOPic II Expansion Board v2.x or above a 4 receptacle is included. If you want to connect the sensor to the program port on the OOPic-R or OOPic II/II+ a 5 pin receptacle is included.

The bracket is made from laser cut acrylic and it mounts to a nylon mast. The hardware that mounts the electronic compass to the bracket is also nylon. The non-metallic materials are used to keep the sensitive electronics away from any metal and electronic noise that will influence the readings. The sensor will allow the robot know which way it's heading.
