Me 3 Axis Gyro Sensor


#1

Hello,

I’m wondering where I can buy the Me-3 Axis Accelerometer and Gyro Sensor as it is not showing up on the makeblock products. Do any other gyro sensors work with the Makeblock mBot Robot, as I am planning to attach a gyro sensor to this robot to improve directional accuracy.

@spirixsabr I don’t think makeblock directly sells most of the older sensors anymore (the ones that are not the mBuild version) unless you contact or find a third-party place selling them from makeblock.

Looking online, I found the docs for the 3-Axis sensor here:
https://support.makeblock.com/hc/en-us/articles/12880946059159-About-Me-3-Axis-Accelerometer-and-Gyro-Sensor-for-Ultimate-2-0

And it for sale here (thought not very cheap):

As for other sensors that would be compatible, I’m not sure. I believe they would have to use an RJ25 cable and follow the same data transmission format as the mBot sensors (I don’t know what data transmission mBot uses).
