An accelerometer is a device that measures non-gravitational accelerations. These are accelerations produced by mechanically accelerating the accelerometer via its casing. – Accelerometer Wikipedia Sci-Spot.com – Accelerometer The MMA7260Q is a 3-axis accelerometer Balancing robot needs gyroscope and accelerometer ADXL105 Lower-Noise Wider-Bandwidth Accelerometer AccelR8 is a device for measuring acceleration A beginner’s guide to accelerometers Society of Robots’ tilt to servo control app David T.’s motor balancing experiments

Process Control Instrumentation Section Updated This is a generic or standard controller for any type of process. Shown here is a temperature controller. The STC1000 could be used for Ovens or furnaces, liquid baths, heating or environment chambers. It has a single analog input and an analog or relay output. Analog inputs could be like 4-20 mA, thermocouple or RTD. Analog outputs can be 0-10 V for a thyristor drive, SSR drive output or potential free contacts of a relay to operate external 3 phase contacters. The closed loop control could be On-Off or Time-Proportional. It was known as digital [Read More ....]

The usefulness of an oscilloscope is not limited to the world of electronics. With the proper transducer, an oscilloscope can measure all kinds of phenomena.XYZs of Oscilloscopes – Tektronix A Tektronix model 475A portable analogue oscilloscope, a very typical instrument of the late 1970s. This dual-trace, dual-sweep instrument had a horizontal bandwidth of 250 MHz, a maximum vertical sensitivity of 5 mV per division, and maximum (unmagnified) horizontal sweep speed of 10 ns per division. – Oscilloscope – Wikipedia Read More about Oscilloscope What is an oscilloscope Digitizers/Oscilloscopes – NI Zelscope Sound card oscilloscope BK Precision site Application Notes.
