hi, i have a question about gyros.
i found some gyro cards.
Gyro LISY300AL 300 degre
Gyro Breakout Board - LY530AL.
but i have no idea how gyros works,
anyone feel like explaining ?
and would it be compatible with the ez-b ?
ive just seen som gyros robots on 2 wheels on youtube.
but i cant find a good "how it works" video on it.

Gyroscopes are very interesting, they work on the law of conservation of angular momentum. They (in a robot) would be powered by a motor instead of a string (see video below). they can be used to stabilize the robot or help detect changes in pitch or roll. This video should help.
Hope this helps!

This should work!
but then to the project idea, see if you can give me some tips or pointers what to go for.
my idea is to make a robot that balances on one wheel, or a ball to be precise.
here is a video where they have one.
my idea is to make this, (if not way to advanced.)
with the ez-b. and have a robot balancing on it, and manouvers forward reverse and turning.
in the video it seems like a waaaaaaay over the head project,
but im curious if it doable ?
there using omni wheels and the construction is not to far advanced.
the question i have is, how do they keep it balanced, i get the idea with gyroscope that you showed me, but how do the implement it in this robot ?
you should be able to use like a "tilt sensor" or 2.
and have it like:
if sensor feels tilt forward - move servo to position X
if sensor feels tilt reverse- move servo to position Y
etc etc.
and im guessing that there using digital gyros. and that they work similiar to this ?
Edit:
just realized that the ball movement was pretty high tech.
it was kinda new to the "robotics world"
so i think i might consider something else
