While this is impossible. In Thunkable X there is no Orientation sensor.

@Lauro_Fontes there is a specific function that you can use with the [Magnetometer](https://docs.thunkable.com/magnetometer) (which is what the Compass sensor actually is!) but I haven’t had much luck with it to-date.
Fortunately, I can tell you that we’re work on a block that will simply return your heading which should be out in the next couple of weeks I think.
Hope that helps!

Try this to adapt to Thunkable X
