High-tech gyroscopes have long been a big part of that effort, allowing the construction of inertial navigation systems with greater accuracy than ever before. The fact is that GPS and other ...

Hackaday alum [Adam Munich] shot a tutorial video on using a rate gyroscope. Here he’s showing off the really fancy piece of ancient (technologically speaking) hardware. It would have set you ...

When the iPhone 4 was announced, there was one feature many of us were skeptical about: the gyroscope. I think the problem was that many didn’t catch the differences between an accelerometer and a ...

Gyroscopes are designed to measure angular rate or orientation about a given directional vector. They usually take the form of a disc-shaped object or rotor which is suspended in light supporting ...
