What is a gyroscope?
What is an accelerometer?
Accelerometer is a device that measuresaccelerationdue to gravity. This is done by determining the angle at which the device is tilted relative to the Earth. The sensor also analyzes thedynamicacceleration caused by the movement of the device. Thanks to that it provides information about the direction in which the device ismovinganditscurrent position.
What is a gyroscope?
A gyroscope is a device that can determine spatial orientation in three axes: X, Y and Z. For this purpose it uses angular velocity, which is analyzed according to the principle of conservation of angularmomentum.
