I can't believe how important you have become to me. The videos are always 150% more than what I can understand. but, I know you are using all the tools to allow me to follow and put my new knowledge into my own projects. I have a very simple form of this and struggled to get that going. putting the Value of the encoder into a string seemed so simple for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to get these videos up and out others like me.

this is the most underrated channel. btw i love screens too!

Wokwi, Photopea, and Desmos, You make good use of advanced web tools!

WOW all I can say is you're flying @10000 ft over my head but well done I love this video learning new items is GREAT! Thank you

For remapping the scale on the x-axis, a sin or cos could have been used to create a "rounder" looking stretch effect, I think :)

Sooo cool and impressive what you did with u8g2. Amazing and informative. Thanks!

[NavyCuda]

Wicked! Caught your upload just as it came out!

[dnlarts]

Awesome tutorial. Quite fastinating what you achieved with such a limited res display

[randalltockes]

I've become hooked on your videos. Always wondered how graphics like this were handle in code.

[andymouse]

Awesome looking display that realy does trick the mind very well...cheers and Happy New Year!

[lautungho]

bro, i ve been looking for this one for a long long time

[sayatly]

Beautiful compass and good explanation. Thanks

[mojo_jojo]

Very nice! Thanks for the explanation!

Hi, great project and I like the display with the virtual 3D ring. If i am correct the potmeter drives the compass to demonstrate the 3D compass heading ring. Would be great if you could connect a magnetic compass sensor and turn it it in a real compass. Possibly with calibration option.

[analogheaven]

this Arduino project could be good with that potentiometer ring that you showed last time in video, but it would need 4 red LED for showing north, south, east and west or just simple markings, but OLED display is good too

[lukihagen]

That looks so cool. I'd love to see a virtual compass on a GC9A01 round display.

You could stick this in a rear view mirror like those smart mirror projects and have a compass for your car.

Good day Upir. How can the code be modified to show a "permanent" heading/marker on the rotating portion of the compass. The idea is to have a visual indication to keep the marker on the rotating portion on the degrees shown on the top display. Hope this make sense. I would like to use your code to steer a small RC tank to a way-point via a predefined heading setting on the rotating portion of the compass, using the compass on the Oled, and then by keeping the marker and the compass reading aligned keep the tank in the correct direction.

That's an awesome tutorial! But ever since I discovered your channel I was wondering why are you using u8g2 library and not adafruit one?

[fredericfitaire]

Nice project ! But I'd prefer seeing it using a rotary encoder instead of a potentiometer for a continuous rotation without stops. An update would be much appreciated ! Thanks
