James,
This actually makes quite a bit of sense. Even though we have only have one sensor, it too sends three bytes in a row. If the digital compass has a clk, it will send data in sync with the clk signal. If we tell it to operate in conitunous mode, it sends the three bytes and then waits 480ms before sending the next packet.
I'll try adding the sensors.h file to our workspace.
