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.

Hello, 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! ~shuby
Hmmmmm link seems to be broken.

This should work!
ah i see !
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 ?
in my head, 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
