Get the current direction from on-board compass. The values are degrees of rotation from north (in a clockwise direction), so that east is 90, south is 180, and west is 270.
Robot.compassRead()
none
int: 0 to 359, representing the number of degrees of rotation from north.
The compass module may be disrupted by magnetic fields in surrounding areas.
