HiTechnic Ball Shooter

This model can be built from parts found in the LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 set along with one HiTechnic Acceleration Sensor. The NXT-G program implements a simple PID controller so that the shooter follows the movement of the Acceleration Sensor. Instructions and program can be downloaded from www.hitechnic.com.

You need the LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 set and the HiTechnic Acceleration Sensor available either from LEGO or HiTechnic.

Can somebody help me? where i can buy the HiTechnic Acceleration Sensor

[hitechnic]

@fruitsalatwithfruit You can purchase the sensor either directly from HiTechnic or from LEGO.

[mfoulks625]

will a gryo sensor work?

[hitechnic]

@mfoulks625 No, The gyro sensor is a single axis angular rate sensor which gives a value that is in degrees per second. For this project you need a multiple axis sensor that can be used to determine absolute tilt relative to gravity, that is what the Acceleration Sensor can do since gravity is perceived as acceleration.

cool, did you get that ball chamber/shooter from a biconical toy?

[hitechnic]

@Martinjls It is the same shooting mechanism but this one came straight from the NXT 2.0 kit. This model can be made with a LEGO 2.0 Mindstorms set plus the HiTechnic Acceleration Sensor that goes into the controller.
