Inercial#
Introducción#
The VEX AIM Coding Robot has a built-in Inertial Sensor. This sensor measures how the robot is moving and turning.
The Inertial Sensor uses two parts to do this. The gyroscope measures turning, such as the robot’s heading, rotation, turn rate, and orientation. The accelerometer measures changes in motion, such as speeding up, slowing down, or stopping suddenly during a crash.
The Inertial blocks can be used to track turns, measure acceleration, detect crashes, and reset heading or rotation values.
A continuación se muestra una lista de todos los bloques:
Values — Report orientation and movement data.
heading — Reports the direction the robot is facing, from 0 to 359.99 degrees.
rotation — Reports how far the robot has turned.
acceleration — Reports how quickly the robot is speeding up or slowing down on the selected axis.
get turn rate — Reports how fast the robot is rotating on the selected axis.
orientation — Reports the robot’s roll, pitch, or yaw angle.
Actions — Respond to crashes or reset turn values.
when crashed — Runs attached blocks when the robot detects a sudden impact.
set crash sensitivity — Adjusts how sensitive crash detection is to impacts.
reset heading — Resets the robot’s heading value to 0 degrees.
reset rotation — Resets the robot’s rotation value to 0 degrees.

A heading is the direction the robot is facing, measured in degrees from 0 to 359.99. The heading reporter block reports the robot’s current heading.
The starting heading is 0 degrees. If the robot turns past 359.99 degrees, the heading wraps back to 0 degrees.

rotación#
Rotation is how much the robot has turned, measured in degrees. Unlike heading, rotation can increase past 359.99 degrees or decrease below 0 degrees. At the beginning of a project, the rotation value is set to 0 degrees. The rotation reporter block reports the robot’s current rotation.
Turning right increases the rotation, and turning left decreases the rotation. For example, making two full turns to the right will report a rotation of 720 degrees. Turning one full turn to the left from 0 degrees will report a rotation of -360 degrees.

aceleración#
Acceleration is how quickly the robot is speeding up or slowing down. The acceleration reporter block reports the robot’s acceleration along the selected axis, from -4.00 G to 4.00 G.
A G is a unit used to measure acceleration. 1 G is about the acceleration you feel from gravity while sitting still.
The value can be positive or negative depending on the direction of acceleration on the selected axis. On AIM, the axis options are named for directions on the robot: forward, rightward, and downward.

obtener velocidad de giro#
Turn rate is how fast the robot is rotating. The get turn rate reporter block reports the robot’s current rotation speed along the selected axis in degrees per second \(dps\), as an integer.
The value can be positive or negative depending on the direction the robot is rotating on that axis. The image below uses arrows to show the direction of positive rotation for roll, pitch, and yaw.

orientación#
Orientation is the robot’s current angle on a selected turning axis. The orientation reporter block reports the robot’s roll, pitch, or yaw, from -180.00 to 180.00 degrees as a decimal number.
Roll, pitch, and yaw describe different ways the robot can tilt or turn. The image below uses arrows to show the direction of positive rotation for roll, pitch, and yaw.

Comportamiento#
cuando se estrelló#
The when crashed hat block runs the attached stack when the robot detects a sudden impact or collision. Crash detection uses the accelerometer and the current crash sensitivity.
