I need to get telemetry back from a robot. Specifically I need to know the orientation in all three axes, and need to know acceleration in all three directions. Does anyone know of a good source for small gyroscopes and accelerometers? I need them to be small and light so they don't wind up taking up all of the available payload. The RC setup I've got is a serial modem set up over some cheapo Radio Shack walkie-talkies, so I'd prefer to get the gyros and accelerometers to talk to me in digital form, but I could always stick some A/D converters on them, so it's not too critical. I'd LIKE to say that price is no issue, but the cheaper the better. Tom Benedict benedict@chaos.utexas.edu Center for Nonlinear Dynamics University of Texas at Austin
