For best results, follow the suggestion in the Readme about changing the Sampling Frequency of the magnetometer. Take also into consideration the issue of calibration. We will try to come up with a tool to automatize these tweaks in the future.(snip)
I will put your git on the requested apps debian mobile wiki page!

secondly I was reading the hall sensor data sheet when I was having trouble passing the pre-install factory tests and it seems that there is an automated self-calibration feature?
(edit)
A degrees marked rotating compass card for the compass and a digital read of the heading would be nice(the needle is stationary and you read the number of your heading on the card , move the decimal one place left for degrees on aircraft directional gyro i.e 33=330)

If you want to get more interesting once the basic compass works well having a TACAN style rotating compass card and also a second needle for heading to beacon(a GPS 'pin') would be even cooler! This would be ideal for inside a navigation app where I can run it as a HUD against the window at night and know my heading and the heading to a reference point just like TACAN.
