Yes, the sensor is just sensitive enough to use as a compass, the difference between facing north and south is about 1mV. Try the following
forever print voltage x 1000
The maximum reading is not on the horizontal, except on the equator. The closer you are to the pole, the further you need to tilt. Why? Why do compas nedles still point level?
