Astronomy Compass Sensor

Description
This is a microcontroller that can be used in space to replace a compass sensor. It uses two astronomy sensors to calculate the angle in relation to the earth's north pole based on their relative position.

You can choose between turns, radians and degrees for the output value.

Since I don't have much time, I haven't been able to test the behavior of the astronomy sensor much yet. However, I assume that the output value must be inverted on the lunar surface and in space near the moon.

You can use this microcontroller in your creations. I would be very happy about a mention and a link.

I hope that my microcontroller will help you navigate in space.
Have fun!

Take that Michelangelo statue for being the first one

Good job, looking forward to LOCAL speed sensors (X,Y,Z) relative to craft (it will require 3 astronomy sensors)

This is amazing, I was literally just thinking that this was probably the best and only way to do this. thanks!
