Hi all,
I am putting together my OpenPlotter and I realised that it would be good if I had the input from a compass, so I can calculate the leeway from COG and heading.
From your experience, is there any point in using with a cheap "digital compass" like a QMC5883L or a CMPS14? Can I plug and play in OpenPlotter? Or should I drop the whole idea and go for a proper fluxgate compass?
TIA,
Yiannis
