Re: ADXRS150EB questions

hey I just thought of a relatively easy way to make a smooth test fixture for the yaw rate sensor.

get a fairly heavy weight and make a solid pendulum, maybe a couple feet long, and securely attach the sensor to the pendulum

then when you let it freely swing back and forth, the sensor will have a nice and smooth yaw rate, going positive and negative.

Darn - I wish I would have thought of this when I was showing the students how it works :^)
