Compass to lcd

i have hmc5883l compass, wired , working on uno. (with sketch hmc5883l loaded) have sainsmart lcd display wired , working. (with sketch lcd loaded)


how go getting lcd display values can see on serial monitor?

this have far...

code: [select]

#include <liquidcrystal.h>
liquidcrystal lcd(8, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7);

#include <wire.h>
#include <hmc5883l.h>

hmc5883l compass;

void setup(){
 serial.begin(9600);
 wire.begin();
 
 compass = hmc5883l(); //new instance of hmc5883l library
 setuphmc5883l(); //setup hmc5883l
 
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
  lcd.setcursor(0,0);
  lcd.print("compass ver 1");
  lcd.setcursor(0,1);
  lcd.print("heading=");
}

void loop()
{
  lcd.setcursor(1,10);     // move cursor second line "1" , 10 spaces over

{
 
 float heading = getheading();
 serial.println(heading);
 delay(1000); //only here slow down serial print

}

}

void setuphmc5883l(){
 int error;
 error = compass.setscale(1.3);
 if(error != 0) serial.println(compass.geterrortext(error));

 error = compass.setmeasurementmode(measurement_continuous);
 if(error != 0) serial.println(compass.geterrortext(error));
}

float getheading(){
 magnetometerscaled scaled = compass.readscaledaxis();
 float heading = atan2(scaled.yaxis, scaled.xaxis);

 if(heading < 0) heading += 2*pi;
 if(heading > 2*pi) heading -= 2*pi;

 return heading * rad_to_deg;
}

it displays compass ver 1 on 1st line ,
heading= on second line.

thanks!

i surprised question.

the program outputs lcd , position cursor ready output heading

code: [select]

  lcd.setcursor(1, 10);    // move cursor second line "1" , 10 spaces overbut never output heading lcd.

what problem ?
