CARLO GAVAZZI switch German CARLO GAVAZZI model CARLO GAVAZZI price

The CARLO GAVAZZI switch is used to detect angles. It has a hole in its body that can fit a LEGO axle. When connected to the RCX, the angle switch 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 switch. When the angle switch is initialized, its count value is set to 0. If needed, you can reset it via programming.

CARLO GAVAZZI switch features

High-precision single-axis tilt angle switch. This single-axis tilt angle switch is based on capacitive 3D-MEMS technology and demonstrates excellent reliability, superior stability, and unprecedented high precision across the entire temperature range. The tilt angle switch series is designed, manufactured, and tested according to the reliability and stability requirements of the automotive industry. The series of tilt angle switches features significant load capacity and very good impact durability without requiring additional components. The tilt switch is part of the analog acceleration switch product family and is fully compatible with acceleration switches. The tilt switch allows adjustment of the output frequency and has 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, it can return to the zero position. When using the tilt switch in such applications, simply fix the switch to a specific plane and use the zero button to clear the reading before measurement. The data read by the switch thereafter represents the relative tilt angle with respect to that plane.

CARLO GAVAZZI switch application areas

Using an angle switch to control your wheels can indirectly detect obstacles. The principle is very simple: if the motor is running but the gear is not turning, it indicates that your machine is 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 too frequently), otherwise you will be unable to detect obstacles. This problem can be avoided if an idling gear is connected to the motor. This wheel is not driven by the motor but is driven by the movement of the device: during the rotation of the drive wheels, if the idler wheel stops, it indicates that you have hit an obstacle. In many cases, angle switches are very useful: for controlling the position of arms, heads, and other movable parts. It is worth noting that when the operating speed is too slow or too fast, the RCX will be affected in terms of precise detection and counting. In fact, the problem does not lie with the RCX itself, but with its operating system. If the speed exceeds its specified range, the 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 will be no data loss. However, in the range below 12rpm or above 1400rpm, some data loss will occur. In the ranges of 12rpm to 50rpm or 300rpm to 1400rpm, the RCX may also occasionally experience data loss.
