What is an angle sensor

The angle sensor, as the name suggests, is used to detect angles. It has a hole in its body that fits the LEGO shaft. When attached to the RCX, the angle sensor counts every 1/16th turn of the shaft. The count increases when turning in one direction and decreases when the direction of rotation changes. The count is related to the initial position of the angle sensor. When the angle sensor is initialized, its count value is set to 0. You can reset it programmatically if desired.

Applications:

Series inclination, angle sensor, distance sensor, acceleration sensor, as well as digital compass for measuring orientation, electronic compass and gyroscope have been widely used in petroleum, coal, iron and steel, ships, tunnels, medical equipment, dams, machinery, physical exploration instruments, geology, geotechnical, petroleum, mines, pipelines, inclined conduit, railroads, ports, water conservancy, high-rise buildings, walls, and so on. water conservancy, high-rise buildings, hole-in-the-wall, mines, tunnels, shipyards, anti-slip piles and sheet piles, coal mines, dynamic impact experiments, geology, satellite GPS systems, feng shui, off-road vehicles, navigation, experimental instrumentation, digital leveling, medical care, machinery leveling, angle measurement and monitoring, automotive, crane motion detection, rehabilitation systems, bio-engineering systems, virtual reality, reality amplification, sports, inertial navigation systems.
