 If said device costs 10x more to manufacture than a simpler solution integrating COTS parts, and only performs 10% better, that's poor engineering. - Cory [more] |

Re: Gyro Sensor
OK. Thanks anyway. That's actually what we're using, but I just wanted to know if there was a way to use a gyro. And one quick question. What does the gyro actually tell you? Number-wise. And if you could give a quick situational example, that would be great.

Re: Gyro Sensor
The "gyro" is actually a yaw rate sensor. Its output is a voltage that tells how rapidly it is being spun, in degrees per second. There is a characteristic voltage that represents zero spin, and a certain number of millivolts above (or below) that voltage for each degree per second it is turning.
