I have the magnetometer working. I've applied a low pass filter using a moving average but I'm still not sure if this was the effect I was looking for for the compass. I keep turning it over, the compass and the project.

Excellent blog. Thank you for going into detail on how you developed the 7 segment displays. The pixel counting, row counting and column counting is familiar to me because I've implemented hardware sprites in some of my projects. The way C can be synthesized and converted to RTL is pretty interesting. And finally thank you for including the block diagram of the project. It was very helpful to me and easier to understand than Vivado diagrams.

Already implemented the overlay with the compass and working.

"Hardware accelerated module programming with Vitis HLS may seem trivial but it is quite complex and requires a good understanding of digital electronics design."

That is my experience too. If you naively use it to write C functions - with your C-functional-programming hat on - and expect a faster FPGA design as outcome: it isn't the case [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]

I had to remove several external links so that the blog was not considered SPAM. I paste them here:
