- Gyroscopes
- ----------
-
- I am interested in the construction of a small, cheap and light system
- to sense and report attitude.
-
- Gyroscopes ! I thought.
-
- Engineering such a thing myself is rather too challenging a prospect.
- Where, I wonder, might one be able to buy one readymade.
-
- I have heard of things called gyros being used in RC helicopters. Does
- anyone know anything about them - what they are used for, what they cost,
- how they work, the form in which their output may be taken ? any
- alternative technologies ?
-
- All input gratefully received.
