 | | super cheap tilt sensor? —Luke Wenke
|
| | | I was wondering if anyone knew of any extremely cheap and easy way of making a tilt sensor - that preferably doesn't involve transistors, etc. The best I can come up with are some mercury tilt switches with some resistors - so that a single input (...)

| | | | (...) It somewhat depends on how rapidly the tilt can change - and whether you intend to try to keep the robot level or just to know how much it's tilted by. For relatively slow rotation speeds, you can use a pendulum with a rotation sensor at the (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Could you create a runner to stand between the wheels, with a rotation sensor on it? the only connection between the runner and the body of the bike would be a shaft to (...)
