Description

Description

Right now, we have Gauss measurements (magnetic measurements), but we want to know the direction of the car. Try and find a way to figure out magnetic north and go from there.

Acceptance Criteria

A way to find the direction of the car using the measurements we have.

Proposed Solution

Using Gauss and maybe other measurements, try to find magnetic north.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by locating the existing Gauss measurement handling and determining what sensor data is available for magnetic-north estimation; done means a documented, validated way to derive the vehicle's direction from those measurements.
