Low-Cost MEMs-Based Gyroscopes

Chris writes "Recently, Analog Device released their new line of MEMS based gyroscopes. The release was announced in this article on Small Times about a week ago. The gyroscope is roughly 7mm. x 7mm. x 3 mm. While MEMS gyroscopes have been commercially available from other companies for a while (e.g. Silicon Sensing), these are fairly expensive ($100+ per gyroscope). The Analog Device's gyroscopes cost $10! In fact, you can request free samples from the Analog web site! Mmmm, new low cost Lego Mindstorm sensors."

    Woo, I'm first.

    This kinda looks like a set of gyroscopes in an integrated circut. Impressive....
