Do you know what the most frustrating thing about a compass is? It ONLY points North. But what if a compass could point to something. more appetizing? WIRED has challenged maker Joe Grand to figure out how to make a compass that points to pizza, in just three weeks. Check out Joe Grand here: YouTube: Website: Twitter: Pizza Compass Project Page: Shoutout to Advanced Assembly and Royal Circuits for their incredible work and turnaround: Special thank you to PieVino: Sources from the coding community include: neopixel Pololu_LSM303 TinyGPS++

It is a dumbed version of Jack Sparrow's compass that does not points north. If you tweak the code to include possibility of changing destinations and you package it like Jack Sparrow's peace, than it becames real not just a movie prop. You're close. It should point to the thing you want most in this world.

Could do something similar for blind people but have it beep One beat means good another beat means bad so the way they know what direction they're going in, wouldn't need a dog for seeing anymore, it's really genius good evening just give it to old people that lose their way or kids ECT

This guy reminds me myself hands on in a project, just trading off genius by frustration, plus a lack of separate hardware and software workbenchs, which results in more frustration and pain due to burns and scratches to my desktop --

Maybe add function that can connect to mobile device via Bluetooth or what, which has installed app that you can input text for you to search what you're looking for any nearest store, restaurant, hospital or even barber shop

Isn't it possible to replace the entire cellular part with an SD card and put the coordinates of all pizza places on it? Don't think it would be that much data. I think it would make this much simpler.
reply

It would be awesome if the colours display the distance to the pizza. like red is over 200 meter, orange over 100, yellow over 50 and Green below 50 or something like that -

The title makes it look like this is the start of a series - if you're looking for more hacks in a hurry, I can whip you up something special. It's kinda what I do

Anyone else on a Joe Grand & L0pht binge ever since the Trezor video was uploaded? Maaaan, I am loving this nostalgia, I feel the 90s flowing through me!

Using this technology you can make a Goddess Sword that can dowse for the nearest treasure chest in a Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword themed scavenger hunt.

i thought its certain chemical element distinctive in pizza getting extracted and used as direction. This video I watched is not fun.
