Hi again, (...) Ok, i have just discussed this with someone having a ph.d. in physics and that's what he told me: Think of the segway as some big chimney you want to blast. These things break into two pieces while falling sideways. This is because (...) (23 years ago, 21-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Do you have some concrete reasons why it won't work, to go along with your assertion (for those of us just now joining the conversation)? I suspect that it could be made to work (in conjunction with other data like what the motor output is, (...) (23 years ago, 21-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) It might work, but imho not the obvious way. How it won't work: Measure the acceleration sideways. You would measure an acceleration if you were holding the whole setup at a certain angle, but since the whole sensor including the mechanic (...) (23 years ago, 21-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Let me chime in and say "It won't work" Tilt detection is almost always done using a simple inclinometer. This is just a weighted pendulum on a potentiometer or shaft encoder. Now, that being said, could figure out that an object is rotating (...) (23 years ago, 21-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

I've had discussions lately with a VERY large number of people about using an accelerometer to detect if an object (like a LegWay) is tilting. I'd like to continue the discussion here, with anyone willing to talk about it. Let me start by saying, (...) (23 years ago, 21-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)
