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, "It won't work."
I could be wrong, and I'd be willing to listen to anyone who can prove otherwise, but I really don't think it will work.
thanks
Steve

| (...) 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 (...) (22 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, (...) (22 years ago, 21-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)
