Devantech CMPS03 digital compass reader

This code reads a Devantech CMPS03 digital compass on Wiring or Arduino using the Wire library for I2C.

/*
  CMPS03 compass reader
 language: Wiring/Arduino

 Reads data from a Devantech CMP03 compass sensor.

 Sensor connections:
 SDA - Analog pin 4
 SCL - Analog pin 5
