The bargraph will show the difference between actual
and commanded heading, lighting the diodes from centre
to right or left. When the actual heading is higher than
the commanded heading, the bargraph is lit to the left
with one diode per 2° difference. Similarly the bargraph
is lit to the right when the actual heading is lower than
the commanded heading.
