lsm303 give heading when tilted help

[rwerner]

Hi
Building a battery operated unit that lights an LED when a predetermined heading is in range. How do you program it to still give good headings when
the lsm303 is tipped along several different axes--in this use the board may pitch and roll too. Heading goes to very inaccurate while these things are happening.
Thanx.

You need 'tilt-compesated' calcuations. The Pololu library does this:

will this software library work with the adafruit board?
