I've been working on a project that requires a compass on board. Since most GPS devices do not have a really 3+ axis stand still compass on them, I'll be using my own off-board compass with a PIC controller piping to serial or to USB. However, Android seems to have no support for serial and only supports mass-storage USB. Is there a way to get closer to USB access or write native code so that I can get the information off of my off-board devices? I'm aware that the emulator does not support USB, but will there ever be a way to get at this?
