There a few different models but they start at around $120 a piece in sample quantity for the cheapest. $299 on the high end as I recall. I have some documentation at home, I'll look up the specs.In the meantime here's a link to one of their products:
http://www.siliconsensing.com/pages/english/products/page5.htm As I recall, their vibration test results showed no signifficant vibration sensitivity. Other sensors subjected to the same would either: - spike at certain frequencies - deform permanently (ie. produce Vx at rate R before the test and then produce Vy at rate R after the test) - break because of sympathetic hormonics I never quite understood why they can't offer samples at prices comparable to a complete Futaba solution though. The Futaba box has extra electronics to mess with the servo signal.

What are the specs on these gyros wrt vibration and acceleration sensitivity? If they're anywhere as good as he seemed to think, then $80/axis is not half bad -- check out FOGs sometime for serious sticker shock (~$1.5k+/axis). Also, I suspect that those stabilizers may be 2-axis, which would mean you would only need two for complete sensing, or one for the first iteration of Gizmo & POGO. > > > -p > _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
