gyro/accelecometer/limit switch help needed

Please, people, I need some help.
What is each of the above, what are the uses for them and their limits.
Also, I've been looking for a neat way to swithc autonomous startegies on the spot, but I couldn't think of anything more neat than just using digital inputs as they are.
If you have the time, please help.

Re: gyro/accelecometer/limit switch help needed

Anton, every single one of these questions has been answered before in multiple other threads. I'd suggest you use the search function.

Your search results might be better if you spell accelerometer correctly, though.

Re: gyro/accelecometer/limit switch help needed

Well an accelerometer detects a tilt of the bot. They can determine if you robot has been moved and can reset it to its original spot. For example, if your bot was driving and you got hit the accelerometer would autmatically determine it moved and it would reset it to your original location. With an accelerometer it must be exactly level or else it won't work right. You need a plot chart with a G force speed and it senses the acceleration and with this info (in theory) it can determinme how much a robot has moved, and correct it self to its original position. A Gryo senses lateral motion and can detect wihcih angle in reference to your original position. Its pretty much a gryoscope in a big box. And im sorry I dont know what a limit switch is.
