robonova and 5DOF

[spin_cycle]

hey i'm very new still with the whole robot thing, ive got a little experience programming moves into the nova but thats about all at the moment (im running off a tight budget) anyway i wanted to add it some accelerometers and gyro's to give it more complexity, but rather than add the bits in one at a time i came across this:

is there even the slightest chance this will work with the nova? i realise that it runs at a different voltage and would require a madness of wiring but would it be compatible? it would be helpful to know before i take another plunge with what i got saved up. thanks for the help!

This latest version allows an unheard of 5 axis of sensing (Roll, Pitch, X, Y, Z) in less than 1 square inch, and under 2 grams!

very cool

No reason why not. It's going on my shopping list. I have been running the ADXL330 board on my RN. That board just adds the additional Gyro outputs. The question is how do you come up with a workable control algorithm in Robobasic to utilize those nice new sensors.

cool thanks for the reply! alright then i think i'll buy it and see what happens, i'll have loads of time over the summer though to try and figure it all out so i guess i'll report back with some results eventually

Hey came across this back reading just wondering spin_cycle have you uses this yet or has anyone found more info on this combined w/ RN-1?

i responded but my message ended up here due to my stupidity:
