Sensors An over-all/summary view of sensors
Potentiometer • provide current angle or position; used for arm joint or lift position
ADXL345 3-axis Digital Accelerometer, and Analog Devices • Digital Accelerometer -measures dynamic and static acceleration. • Accelerometer- measures robot acceleration in relation to horizontal (gravity); used if on a ramp/incline-angle measure
Yaw Rate Gyro (Analog Devices PN ADW22307) • Yaw Rate Gyro senses angular changes. • Gyro- measures rate of rotation; easy to program; easy to get robot driving straight or on a predetermined control
Austriamicrosystems Magnetic Encoder • Encoders- detects motion-speed, direction, distance; used for gears and wheels; should be used on anything that rotates or slides
US Digital Encoder(US Digital PN E4P-360-250-S4149)- • US Digital Encoder- measures shaft position, speed and direction, used for gears and wheels.
