NXT Sensor Guide Some sensors This is a list of some available sensors for the LEGO NXT Acceleration Sensor, Gyro and Compass One very common question about LEGO MINDSTORMS NXTs is: "What's the difference between a Gyro sensor, an Acceleration (or tilt) sensor, and a Compass sensor. Notes (1) standard note Common Questions: Here are some answers to questions posted on nxtasy forums by our friend and NXTpert Brian Davis and also myself Q: If I'm correct, the acceleration sensor only measures when the sensor is, well, accelerating!
A: More exactly, it determines when the internal sensor is experiencing an acceleration relative to the outer casing. Q: Can I use an acceleration sensor to balance my robot? A: No. Q: Is a Gyro the same as a one axis acceleration sensor? Put yourself in an elevator with a compass sensor, a gyro sensor, and a 3-axis accelerometer. Now spin the robot rapidly (but smoothly, not speeding up or slowing down) in place. OK, now cut the elevator cable. Actually, yes.
