Using a Gyro Sensore

What does a gyro sensor measure?

• Distance

• Light intensity

• Angle

• Temperature

What is the actual measurement that the gyro sensor makes?

• Angular rate of rotation

• Linear velocity

• Acceleration

• Force

We learned about 2 ways the gyro sensor works for robots, what are those (select both)

• helps your robot turn

• helps your robot balance

• helps your robot measure distance

• helps your robot keep from drifting

What type of measurement unit does your gyro sensor use

• Degrees

• Radians

• Inches

• in/sec

How do we calibrate our gyro sensor?

• in the code we reset the sensor

• we manually rotate the sensor and read the results

• we measure the angle and hit a set point

• There is no way to calibrate our sensor

How many wires do you need to connect your gyro

• 5 wires for the Lilybot

• 3 wires for the Lilybot

• 4 wires for the Lilybot

• 2 wires for the Lilybot

What direction (x, y or z) does your sensor need to measure to help your robot turn?

• the z direction

• the x direction

• the y direction

• the x-y direction

If your robot is turning clockwise, what direction is the sensor measuring?

• positive degrees

• negative degrees

• positive inches

• negative inches

What type of gyro sensor are we using on our robot?

• a MPU6050

• a Lego Gyro

• an AXS2414

• a Sparkfun gyro

What type of output does your gyro sensor provide

• analog

• digital
