Subject: Gyroscopes That Don't Spin Make It Easy to Hover
"[...]The secret is the piezo gyroscope, a small motion-sensing device
originally developed to help take the shake out of home videos. The Segway
personal scooter may be the most famous secondary application of the
technology, but given that few of the scooters have been produced yet, the
gyroscopes have seen far greater use in model helicopters and other
aircraft.[...]"
Has anyone built a custom sensor based on these ?
...probably too expensive for simple LEGO bots, no ?
