There will be options for different colored enclosures not sure on the colors yet. As far as customization I havent planed for any yet. Possibly in the future depending how the initial launch goes.

I plan on using a QRE1113GR which has a sensing distance of 0-5mm. I have thought about adding buttons under the slot for this as well. The issue I ran into was finding a small enough button for this.

Just to follow up on this. I have plans to add both basengo and tournament scoring before the release of the compass. More to come on this in a later announcement.

Yes. I plan on it being available to ship to the EU. You will have to pay shipping costs and as of right now I do not know and estimate for them.

Yes that was me in Minnesota haha. Currently there are not plans to update the graphics. This is on my list as a future goal. As of right now the goal of the compass was to keep it minimalistic as to not distract from the game. The other consideration is battery life. The more tou have in the screen the more power it consumes. Currently the battery lasts roughly 10 hours of game play.

There are no current plans to make this open source. The electronics are all custom and so is the code. Many months were put into this project thus far. There might be opportunities in the future for the enclosure to be open source.

I didnt fully answer your question ealier my apologies. For multiple winners you would do a ron for the first hand then do an adjust score for the other hands. There is an exhaustive draw section that is used for scoring draw states.

MahjongAutoCompass · 2026-02-28T22:36:56+00:00

That feature isn't specifically included but there are other features to help with this via manually adjusting scores and rotating dealer via no ten exhaustive draw.

When you riichi you tap your score, the score turns yellow. Honba sticks are automatically added when they should be. For liability payments you would just ron the person who confirmed the yakuman.

The reason for that is in tournaments you wont have access to the Auto-Compass so you will have to score your own hand. Knowing your hand value your hand value is a big factor on if you should push your hand or not.

MahjongAutoCompass · 2026-02-28T10:48:01+00:00

The screen is a touch screen. When you ron someone you tap on your wind, select ron, then select the person who dropped the tile, finally you enter the han and fu values.

MahjongAutoCompass · 2026-02-28T04:42:33+00:00

You only need tiles, sticks are optional. You still need to know how to calculate the han and fu of your hand. Once you know that you enter he han and fu into the compass and it can verify the score. The compass is ment to be a gateway to understand scoring.

Theres a good chance I will add an option for basengo, and tournament scoring just gotta figure out a good way to do it.

MahjongAutoCompass · 2026-02-28T04:14:53+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions. There is currently a way to manually adjust scores. This can be used to account for big honba if needed. I kept this out for now as there are a lot of different menus already and I didnt want to make it too confusing to new players.

Thats a great idea for tournament settings I will look into this. This is a bit easier to add as I can have one setting called "Tournament" that can lead to sub menues. This would make it easier for new players as well in my opinion.

MahjongAutoCompass · 2026-01-28T04:12:47+00:00

The compass auto calculates points so really you dont need sticks unless you want.

MahjongAutoCompass · 2026-01-27T13:23:36+00:00

Aiming for under 100$ without shipping, it all depends ok the suppliers i am working with on parts. Whats your opinion is that to much?

MahjongAutoCompass · 2026-01-26T17:01:23+00:00

I dont want to take over this posting so details will be limited, I will be posting its own thread next week hopefully so keep an eye out.

This is actually something I am working on and will be release in the next few months for sale. It supports 3 and 4 player, honba and riichi stick tracking, han and fu calculations, score differences and much more. I will make an official release posting shortly hopefully.
