Hi
It's on the list of ideas for HamSatDroid but the compass sensors do need regular calibration so cannot be guaranteed to work reliably.
The Galaxy S is really bad at loosing calibration :-(

It seems to me that some smartphones have sensors for elevation and azimuth, and the capacity to calculate those for satellite passes. Has anyone combined all that so that one could just attach the 'phone to the antenna boom and have it indicate where to point it?
This would be particularly useful for the analog sats, since very little attention would need to be paid to antenna pointing.
