Gyro Absolute Angle - Chief Delphi

I got something totally different from my FIRST experience. to me the spirit of FIRST is all about sharing. during the 6 week build period, you share yourself with the other people on your team. at the competition, you share your creation with everyone who watches your 'bot play the game. - George1902 [more]

Re: Gyro Absolute Angle

The yaw rate sensor "gyro" doesn't give you absolute angle. An accelerometer can be used to measure the component of gravity pulling in a specific direction, and from that compute tilt angle.

I believe a better solution would be an absolute angular sensor that turns with your pitch angle. A potentiometer can work, or a US Digital MA3, or an Austria Micro noncontact magnetic angular sensor.
