The stepper rotates a pointer, making Earth’s field visible. Perfect for young makers, the breadboard build takes an afternoon, and the OLED shows live heading angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll wire up a magnetometer sensor, Arduino Uno, and stepper motor driver to spin a physical pointer card that always points north. Turn the compass in any direction and watch the needle smoothly respond. The OLED displays the current heading in degrees, so your project doubles as a digital compass you can mount on a wall or incorporate into a larger robotics setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterpret magnetometer data from the MPU6050 to calculate absolute heading relative to magnetic north\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrive a NEMA 17 stepper motor precisely using an A4988 driver with microstepping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrate an I2C OLED display for real-time sensor feedback in your embedded projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDebug sensor noise and calibration techniques that are essential for real-world magnetometer applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComponent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArduino Uno R3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eMPU6050 magnetometer drives stepper to always point physical needle at magnetic north.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch4\u003eWhat's in this kit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/uno-r3-ch340g-atmega328p-board-arduino-compatible\"\u003eArduino Uno R3\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/mpu6050-imu-module-6-axis-gyro-accelerometer-for-arduino\"\u003eMPU6050\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/nema-17-stepper-motor-18-step-045nm-bipolar\"\u003eNEMA 17 Stepper\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/a4988-stepper-motor-driver-module-with-microstepping-control\"\u003eA4988 Driver\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/096in-oled-display-128x64-i2cspi-for-arduino-raspberry-pi\"\u003e0.96in OLED\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/resistor-variety-pack-100-pcs-10-values-14w-carbon-film\"\u003e4.7kΩ Resistors\u003c\/a\u003e x5\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/capacitor-variety-pack-6-values-100nf-to-470uf-30-pieces\"\u003e100nF Caps\u003c\/a\u003e x5\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/breadboard-standard-bundle-830400-tie-points-for-prototyping\"\u003e400-pt Breadboard\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eM-M Wires x20\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/xkc-y26-pnp-5-12v-non-contact-liquid-level-sensor\"\u003e12V 1A PSU\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What is included in the Stepper Motor Compass Pointer Kit with Arduino Uno + MPU6050?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"The Stepper Motor Compass Pointer Kit with Arduino Uno + MPU6050 includes all components needed: Arduino Uno R3, MPU6050, NEMA 17 Stepper, A4988 Driver, 0.96in OLED and more.
