Learn to build a tilt-compensated compass using the Arduino Uno R4 WiFi and GY-87 IMU module in this 33-minute tutorial. Master advanced IMU programming techniques to calculate accurate Roll, Pitch, and Yaw values from sensor data, then extend your project to include tilt compensation for heading measurements. Discover how to overcome the limitations of basic compass readings that only work when held level by implementing mathematical corrections that provide accurate results even when the device is tilted at various angles. Follow along with hands-on coding examples and practical demonstrations that show you how to calibrate the GY-87 module for high-performance calculations. Build upon previous compass projects by adding sophisticated tilt compensation algorithms that maintain heading accuracy regardless of device orientation, making your compass functional in real-world applications where perfect leveling isn't always possible.
