Hi
I have a rod swinging around the x axis (like a pendulum). If i'd like to detect when its (angular) velocity is a certain value or its (angular) acceleration is a certain value, should an accelerometer or a gyro be used?
Should the centrifugal force be measured? If so, would it be an accelerometer since it could measure the x acceleration? But then, gyro measure instantaneous angular velocity - right?
Any thought appreciated.
Thanks
