Steampunk Geocaching by r10n
Picture 29.jpg
I recently published an instructable for creating a working 'Steampunk Compass' .

Starting off with this build its very easy to extend it and create a device that instead of pointing north will point to any programmed coordinate. Something that can always point you towards home, or to a geocache.

Have everything bought and will be involved in making this. (micro-center has best prices for anyone interested.)

And will be looking into putting a pad on it somewhere for multiple geo-caching excursions along with a read-out somewhere.

This is my first arduino project but am semi-fluent in c++. Any help appreciated.
