knotian Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) All that I've read indicated the LEGO 45505 gyro sensor used for horizontal angle measurement. Can it work reliably in the vertical mode to measure things like slope or boom angle? The HiTechnic one can but I'm not sure if this is the same. Thanx, Edited October 29, 2015 by knotian Quote
DrJB Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) It is a gyro, and by definition, it does NOT measure the angle, but the RATE of change of such angle (i.e., angular speed). Yes, you can install it in any direction/orientation you want, but I highly doubt you can use it to measure the inclination (angle) of a boom. Edited October 29, 2015 by DrJB Quote
knotian Posted October 29, 2015 Author Posted October 29, 2015 DrJB- Thanks. Now I know why Hitechnic has angle sensors for sale. Quote
bj51 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Can you tell me what is a "boom" ? Salut Oracid, C'est le bras de la grue en Français. Quote
oracid Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Salut Oracid, C'est le bras de la grue en Français. Thank you bj51. So why not enable for a boom ? Quote
