Analog Devices recently release new vibration rejection gyros which seemed a perfect fit for use on a micromouse. Since I was using the ADXRS610 on Zeetah V, I temporarily mounted an ADXRS642 to ZV to compare the two.
Finally, a way to solder the Analog Devices ADXRS610 gyro… The last time we attached a gyro, we overheated the board and the board delaminated. This time, we use a skillet and avoided that problem.
Putting a gyroscope on the micromouse is pretty much standard practce now. Being a bit slow to catch up, I have just added gyros to both my mice. Since the mice run at 5V, I had to use the ADXRS300 and ADXRS610 gyros. The first job is to get them calibrated…
