Accelerometer sensor “Robot Master Gyroscope”

“The Robot Master Gyroscope is actually an accelerometer. When it is tilted, the X and Y coordinates change between -90 and 90. The acceleration A reflects the amount of shaking.

Recommendations for use:

1. The loop is made of silicone material, so avoid pulling, squeezing, or interacting with blocks or gears, which may cause damage to the wires.
2. To disconnect the connector, use a special tool (starter), do not pull on the wires to prevent damage.

What it measures:
Accelerometer: Measures acceleration (linear motion). It detects changes in the position of an object in space and the direction of gravity, so it can detect tilts and displacements.

How it works:
Accelerometer: Uses the inertial effect of a mass moving inside the sensor to measure the acceleration caused by external forces (e.g. gravity or motion).

Purpose of Accelerometer:

• Detecting the tilt of a device (e.g. in smartphones, tablets, gamepads).
• Detection of free fall or concussions.
• Used in fitness applications to count steps.

Limitations:
Accelerometer: Cannot accurately measure rotation because it only displays linear accelerations.

Practical use:
Modern devices often use a combination of an accelerometer and a gyroscope (e.g., in IMUs) to provide complete tracking of the object’s motion and position in space.
