/* compass.c
*
* Software to read from the CMPS03 magnetic compass.
*
* By Josh Marshall, joshua dot marshall at studentmail dot newcastle dot edu dot au
* October 15, 2004.
*
* Adapted from code for the SP03 speech synthesiser
* By Bram Stolk, b.stolk at chello.nl
*
* Bram Stolk's notes:
* In linux, you can do I2C stuff in user-space, if you enable
* the device-interface to i2c. You can use plain read() and
* write() calls on your /dev/i2c-0 file.
*
* NOTE: Check if you have an i2c adapter active by doing:
* cat /proc/bus/i2c
* If this comes up empty, then you have no adapters. If the
* file does not exist at all, you probably lack i2c kernel
* support alltogether.

/* Note that the documentation for the compass states its address as 0xC0.
* However, this includes the low bit which specifies read or write.
* Linux i2c does not include this bit in this address, so the actual
* address is 0xC0 shifted down, 0x60.
