Inertial#

Introduction #

The VEX GO Brain includes a built-in Inertial Sensor for measuring acceleration and detecting changes in motion.

Below is a list of all available blocks:

calibrate gyro – Calibrate the Brain’s Inertial Sensor.
set heading – Manually sets the robot’s heading value.
set drive rotation – Manually sets the robot’s cumulative rotation value.
heading – Returns the robot’s heading angle (0 to 359.99 degrees).
rotation – Returns how much the robot has turned since the project started.
detected crash? – Returns a Boolean indicating if a crash is detected.
acceleration – Returns the acceleration along on axis detected by the Inertial Sensor.

The calibrate gyro block calibrates the Brain’s Inertial Sensor. All subsequent blocks will wait for the calibration to complete before executing. Calibration is an internal procedure that measures and compensates for sensor noise and drift over a specified period. During this time, the Brain must remain completely still (i.e., on a stable surface without any external movement). Movement during calibration will produce inaccurate results.

detected crash?#

The detected crash? block returns a Boolean indicating whether or not the robot crashed.

True – A crash was detected.
False – A crash was not detected

Note: This block requires a configured drivetrain.

<¿Se detectó un accidente?>

acceleration #

The acceleration block returns the acceleration from one of the axes (x, y, or z) of the VEX GO Brain’s Inertial Sensor as a decimal between -4.0 and 4.0 G’s.
