German VIGNOTTO sensor VIGNOTTO model VIGNOTTO price

VIGNOTTO sensors are used to detect angles. There is a hole in its body that can accommodate a LEGO axle. When connected to RCX, the angle sensor counts once for every 1/16 revolution of the axle. When rotating in one direction, the count increases; when the direction of rotation changes, the count decreases. The count is related to the initial position of the angle sensor. When initializing the angle sensor, its count value is set to 0. If necessary, you can reset it via programming.

VIGNOTTO sensor features

High-precision single-axis tilt angle sensor using capacitive 3D-MEMS technology demonstrates excellent reliability, superior stability, and unprecedented high precision across the entire temperature range. The tilt angle sensor series is designed, manufactured, and tested according to the reliability and stability requirements of the automotive industry. The series of tilt angle sensors features significant load capacity and very good impact durability without requiring additional components. Tilt sensors are part of the analog accelerometer product family and are fully compatible with accelerometers. Tilt sensors allow adjustment of the output frequency and have built-in zero-position adjustment. A zero-position adjustment button can be customized upon request to achieve a zero-setting function at a specific angle. This is very useful for applications measuring relative tilt angles; after use, the sensor can return to the zero position. When used in such applications, simply fix the sensor to a specific plane and use the zero button to clear the reading before measurement. The data read by the sensor thereafter represents the relative tilt angle with respect to that plane.

VIGNOTTO sensor application areas

Using angle sensors to control your wheels allows for indirect obstacle detection. The principle is very simple: if the motor is running but the gear is not turning, it indicates that your machine has been blocked by an obstacle. This technique is very simple to use and highly effective; the only requirement is that the moving wheels must not slip on the floor (or slip excessively), otherwise you will be unable to detect obstacles. This problem can be avoided by connecting an idling gear to the motor; this wheel is not driven by the motor but is driven by the movement of the device: if the idler wheel stops while the drive wheel is rotating, it indicates that you have hit an obstacle. Angle sensors are very useful in many situations: controlling the position of arms, heads, and other movable parts. It is worth noting that RCX performance in precise detection and counting is affected when the operating speed is too slow or too fast. In fact, the problem does not lie with RCX itself, but with its operating system; if the speed exceeds its specified range, RCX will lose some data. Steve Baker has proven through experiments that a rotational speed between 50 and 300 rpm is a suitable range, within which there is no data loss. However, in the range below 12rpm or above 1400rpm, some data loss occurs. In the ranges of 12rpm to 50rpm or 300rpm to 1400rpm, RCX also occasionally experiences data loss.
