After you have the correct voltage at a certain point, does the current that a DMM would measure at that point have to equal the current that a sensor uses? for example, a sensor i'm using needs 2.5V and says it draws something around 1mA. when i mea
Read more…I know a similar question has been asked, but I tried doing what it said and i ended up gettin smoke from a resistor. luckily i didn't hook up the sensor to it. i tried using a voltage divider using the method athttp://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/h

Read more…ok, so i got one of the memsic dual-axis accelerometers. the picture that comes with it shows the chip with the x and y axes, as well as tilt about those axes. there is a pin for Xout and Yout. what exactly are the values that it is outputting? does
Read more…is a piezo gyro made with accelerometers or is it somehow different?accelerometers measure translation and not rotation, correct?which is more commonly used, a two-axis or three-axis accelerometer?also, which is a good one to use (for testing / learn
Read more…Hi all,I'm somewhat new to building UAVs. I've done some research at school on methods of control applied to UAVs so I'm not completely new however I've never actually tried to make one fly. I was just wondering why everyone uses BASIC Stamp processo
