oCompassVX Object

The oCompassVX Object uses the 5 I/O lines specified by the IOGroup property to read a Vector 2X Compass Module and return a URCP Heading value of -128 to +127.

The following table lists the properties of the oCompassVX Object:

Property	Description
Heading	A value that indicates the current compass heading. Object Class:  oHeading   Value Range:  -128 to +127 Data Type:  Numeric   Default Value:  0 Direction Heading URCP Heading N 0 NE 32 E 64 SE 96 S -128 SW -96 W -64 NW -32
IOGroup	A value that specifies which group of 8 I/O lines is connected to the Compass. Object Class:  oIOGroup   Value Range:  0 - 3 Data Type:  Numeric   Default Value:  0 Some I/O Lines have special purposes.  Be sure to see oIOGroup for details.
Operate	A value that selects whether or not the compass is being read. Object Class:  oOperate   Value Range:  0 - 1 Data Type:  Numeric   Default Value:  0 Operate Constant Description 0 cvOff The compass is not read. 1 cvOn The compass is read.
Address	Returns a pointer to the address of the oCounter Object instance. Object Class:  oAddress   Value Range:  0 - 127 Data Type: Pointer (Read Only)   Default Value:  Address of Object
