Digital geological compass using micro:bit, and 3D printed case.
Accuracy average 3 degrees re. magnetic North
Accuracy clinometer better than 1 degree.
Uses 5x5 led display to display data fast, first column shows 100's, second and third column 10's, last two columns show 1's : example:

1 1 0 1 1
1 1 0 1 1
which reads 248
python code can be adapted to suit needs, inlcuding strike dip, declination.
future code adaptations could include;
- average readings to increase accuracy
- adding data storage
- adding gps
- bluetooth data connection to mobile device
- sound, or speach
- etc
