 Inventions are not built using premade parts. People come up with new ideas, from different angles and with renewed enthusiasm. Playing the game is fun, building and designing is inspirational. - Steve W [more] |

Re: Gyroscopic Steering?
You can accomplish something very similar with an electrical gyro, too, if you're just interested in assisted turning. You should check out the MEMS gyroscopes on sparkfun.com.
We used one in a project at IIT where we performed controld drifts with an RC car: http://mechatronics.iit.edu/index.php?n=Fall08.Group2. The gyroscope we used was the MLX90609-E2: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/pro...oducts_id=8336. It measures up to 300d/s across 5V. The thing is, the gyroscope is for heading only and won't detect tilt. We coupled it with an X/Y accelerometer for complete control of the vehicle. I guess my question would be, why spend all the weight developing a large mechanical gryo? Last edited by CJmango : 09-03-2009 at 17:31. |
