Sensor categories
Speed, Tilt & Vibration
- Speed/RPM sensors & hall tachometers
- Tilt switches & angle triggers
- Vibration & shock sensors
Tip: For precise angle control, use IMUs with sensor fusion (Kalman/Madgwick) rather than raw accelerometer or gyro readings.

FAQ
Are IMUs hard to use?
No—libraries exist for MPU6050, MPU9250, LSM6, and others. Sensor fusion improves accuracy.
Which sensor is best for robot navigation?
Use a 6-axis or 9-axis IMU with encoders for precise odometry and movement control.
Do rotary encoders need debouncing?
Mechanical encoders may need software filtering; optical/magnetic encoders do not.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes—fast PH shipping with same-day processing for in-stock items.
