I have reworked the wiring in accordance with the instructions at the Bildr Blog. The wiring makes a hell of a lot more sense. With some small modifications the code found on the site I was able to get a reading from the compass.
My goal has now become to get the compass reading into NMEA0183 format. For the most part I have been able to get the correct output, but I can't get the checksum to calculate in order for an NMEA listener to recognise the data and use it.

New Project: Arduino NMEA Compass
Today I have officially begun work (not just dreaming) on my Arduino NMEA Compass project.
I soldered some headers onto a HMC6352 compass sensor and have begun trying to get the Arduino UNO board programed to interface with the sensor.
So far I have based my research on the Matrix Mariner project. It is certainly the guide, but the code has not been all that I dreamed it would be. Also the wiring doesn't seem to be correct.
Tomorrow: re-wiring and coding.
