Learn to create an animated digital compass with a graphical dial display using Arduino Uno R4 WiFi, integrating the GY-87 module's MPU6050 IMU and QMC5884L magnetometer with an SSD1306 OLED display. Build upon previous IMU projects by adding compass functionality that shows accurate roll, pitch, and yaw measurements alongside a dynamic compass dial visualization. Work with the GY-87 sensor module to read magnetometer data and process it for compass heading calculations. Implement graphics programming techniques to draw and animate a compass dial on the OLED screen that updates in real-time based on the device's orientation. Combine multiple sensor readings from the IMU and magnetometer to create a comprehensive navigation display showing both attitude information and magnetic heading. Practice advanced Arduino programming concepts including sensor fusion, graphics rendering, and real-time data visualization while creating a practical navigation instrument suitable for robotics or outdoor projects.
