Hi.
Sorry for chiming in on your old thread. I am also evaluating a compass sensor. This sensor have different commands and has calibration commands too. I am making a query - response driver but i am struggling at this point. Is there any good example that I can follow based on your experience? 
 
Thank you for any help.

Have you tried the suggestions mentioned in this thread already? What prolems exactly are you seeing? I don't know if the previous posters are still monitoring this thread since it is so old, but if you provide additional information, that would be helpful. Thanks!
