IMUs for Lego NXT
Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2014 11:42 am
Hi all,
I'm looking for a sensor which includes an accelerometer and gyro for use in a Lego Mindstorms NXT project. I've found two possible candidates:
http://www.dexterindustries.com/manual/ ... mu-sensor/
http://www.mindsensors.com/index.php?mo ... AGE_id=158 (more info at http://www.mindsensors.com/index.php?mo ... le_id=1369)
But I'm getting a little bit confused when trying to compare the two due to them using different terminology to specify their accuracy and resolutions. All I basically want to know is which one has the highest resolution and therefore the smallest "steps". I'm attempting to make a balancing unicycle-type robot, and so the more accurate the better. Could someone who's more experienced with this kind of thing please take a look and let me know your opinion on which of these sensors would be best suited to the task?
Many thanks.
