Re: Gyros in place of potentiometers?/Gyro intergration with jaguars

If you are comfortable with potentiometers:

Mount a pot to the arm, somewhere. Attach a weighted arm to the shaft, maybe 2-3 oz.. The arm will always point down (due to gravity) and send a voltage to indicate arm angle.

Easy-peasy.
