Dynamic compass display?
Posted: Mon Oct 24, 2011 1:18 am
I have a request to display a dynamic compass and have it move in real time with information being sent to a db.
The compass is showing the relative direction of an object that is being tracked. The direction finding equipment is sending the bearing to the db. I need to read the db and update the pointer to reflect the bearing that is in the db. Think of a compass on a smart phone as you turn the dial moves. that is what they want except with a few more options.
I dont know whee to start with this one?
AJAX would be nice since the refresh rate will be like every half second! (running on dedicated server)
