Download and unzip the selected source code from the Smart Sensors and
Applications product page at www.parallax.com.
Open the TestCompass.bs2 file with the BASIC Stamp Editor and run the
program.
The Debug Terminal should display the compass x and y axis measurements and
the angle it is facing, clockwise from north.
If your compass reports measurements with less than a 40° error, it means it's
working and ready for the calibration program featured in Activity #2.
