- Re gyroscopes etc, Murata make some "Piezo-electric Vibratory
- Gyroscopes", which are small, light, low power and pretty
- cheap. E.G the ENV-05S (large model) is
- 24 x 24 x 58 mm
- weighs 41g
- consumes 8-13v at 13ma
- and has an output of 22mv/deg/sec
-
- They also make a smaller model (the ENC-05S) which runs off 5v,
- and costs around 30 pounds in the UK.
- 20 x 13 x 7mm, 3.5g
- 5v at 7ma
- 0.8 mv/deg/sec
-
- I don't know yet how rugged they are.
