So... Does my phone actually have a tiny spinning disk inside for the rotation sensor gyroscope, or is it just approximated by some accelerometers? I find it hard to believe that there could actually be a physical gyro in my phone.
kauttaja85 True, MEMS gyroscopes on their own are unusable in advanced motion capture applications, BUT if you combine them with something that could correct their readigns in realtime the problem becomes essentially non-existent. It's called a sensor fusion. In this case it's usually a magnetometer that corrects the readings of a gyro. Such combinations are commonly used in inertial motion sensor packages.
Hi. Could you do a As Fast as Possible on Fans? In other videos you talk about them being optimized for static pressure or air flow. When do you use which one (aside from SP on radiators)? What flow rate and static pressure is good for each of them, what would be values for a hybrid (if such exist), what pressure do fans need for typical applications...? Just stumbled upon your videos a few days ago and immediately binged on them for hours with 20+ tabs open. Great videos, keep it up!
BILLYSxGREENxPARK he said the exact opposite. Well, his wording was ambiguous I guess, he was saying springs are affected by gravity and gyroscopes don't have them.
QUESTION: Suppose you have latitude and longitude as 19.0649070739746 and 73.1308670043945 respectively. In this case both coordinates are 13 decimal places long, but sometimes I also get coordinates which are 6 decimal places long. Does fewer decimal points affect accuracy? What does every digit after the decimal place signify? ANSWER: Well, Accuracy is the tendency of your measurements to agree with the true values. Precision is the degree to which your measurements pin down an actual value. The question is about an interplay of accuracy and precision. As a general principle, you don't need much more precision in recording your measurements than there is accuracy built into them. Using too much precision can mislead people into believing the accuracy is greater than it really is. Generally, when you degrade precision--that is, use fewer decimal places--you can lose some accuracy. But how much? It's good to know that the meter was originally defined (by the French, around the time of their revolution when they were throwing out the old systems and zealously replacing them by new ones) so that ten million of them would take you from the equator to a pole. That's 90 degrees, so one degree of latitude covers about 10^7/90 = 111,111 meters. ("About," because the meter's length has changed a little bit in the meantime. But that doesn't matter.) Furthermore, a degree of longitude (east-west) is about the same or less in length than a degree of latitude, because the circles of latitude shrink down to the earth's axis as we move from the equator towards either pole. Therefore, it's always safe to figure that the sixth decimal place in one decimal degree has 111,111/10^6 = about 1/9 meter = about 4 inches of precision. Accordingly, if your accuracy needs are, say, give or take 10 meters, than 1/9 meter is nothing: you lose essentially no accuracy by using six decimal places. If your accuracy need is sub-centimeter, then you need at least seven and probably eight decimal places, but more will do you little good. Thirteen decimal places will pin down the location to 111,111/10^13 = about 1 angstrom, around half the thickness of a small atom. Using these ideas we can construct a table of what each digit in a decimal degree signifies: -The sign tells us whether we are north or south, east or west on the globe. A nonzero hundreds digit tells us we're using longitude, not latitude! -The tens digit gives a position to about 1,000 kilometers. It gives us useful information about what continent or ocean we are on. -The units digit (one decimal degree) gives a position up to 111 kilometers (60 nautical miles, about 69 miles). It can tell us roughly what large state or country we are in. -The first decimal place is worth up to 11.1 km: it can distinguish the position of one large city from a neighboring large city. -The second decimal place is worth up to 1.1 km: it can separate one village from the next. -The third decimal place is worth up to 110 m: it can identify a large agricultural field or institutional campus. -The fourth decimal place is worth up to 11 m: it can identify a parcel of land. It is comparable to the typical accuracy of an uncorrected GPS unit with no interference. -The fifth decimal place is worth up to 1.1 m: it distinguish trees from each other. Accuracy to this level with commercial GPS units can only be achieved with differential correction. -The sixth decimal place is worth up to 0.11 m: you can use this for laying out structures in detail, for designing landscapes, building roads. It should be more than good enough for tracking movements of glaciers and rivers. This can be achieved by taking painstaking measures with GPS, such as differentially corrected GPS. -The seventh decimal place is worth up to 11 mm: this is good for much surveying and is near the limit of what GPS-based techniques can achieve. -The eighth decimal place is worth up to 1.1 mm: this is good for charting motions of tectonic plates and movements of volcanoes. Permanent, corrected, constantly-running GPS base stations might be able to achieve this level of accuracy. -The ninth decimal place is worth up to 110 microns: we are getting into the range of microscopy. For almost any conceivable application with earth positions, this is overkill and will be more precise than the accuracy of any surveying device. -Ten or more decimal places indicates a computer or calculator was used and that no attention was paid to the fact that the extra decimals are useless. Be careful, because unless you are the one reading these numbers off the device, this can indicate low quality processing!
+Mobliz -Does fewer decimal points affect accuracy? no 19,1234500000 is the same as 19,12345 -What does every digit after the decimal place signify?

Hey linus, what is the simplified version of a gyroscope? I guess what you showed us in the video can't fit in a smartphone. Nice video keep up the good work!
for anyone interested... IIRC a Wii-Motes camera transmits a 1080hd image with a low lux sensor and I believe transmits over 3mb/s BlueTooth.. I cant remember the refresh rate... but I believe it was fairly decent... I want to say 60hz, but I could be wrong. there are also some PC software that allows you to grab the image from a the camera and do all kinds of neat things...
Good video, but at 3:17 you incorrectly mention "cameras" on the vive. The Vive doesn't use any cameras, but instead uses an array of simple infrared sensors and trigonometry to determine its location. The sensors used are not complex enough to give back an image, instead they simply relay a binary on-off state. They determine exact positioning based on the timing difference on each sensor lighting up. Basically they function more like an array of NES Zappers than a Wiimote.
In the past when thinking about a device that could sense orientation, i imagined a hollow sphere with a metal ball inside and sensors all over it facing the inside that could tell when the ball was touching each of the sensors. I guess i was just being to creative. (i could tell that that wasn't how it worked though)
I thought Linus was going to talk about the piezoelectric effect of the ceramic material that the sensors are made from; mechanical stress = electric field and visa versa.
I find it funny that they claim the wii remote motion sensing depends on the infrared bar when really it was not. only the putting of the pointer on screen was dependent on infrared.
I have a perimeter alert system I like, but the company is out of business so I cant get more sensors from them. There is a base unit that has 6 channels for up to 6 motion sensors,but I only have one. How can I make a motion sensor from a different security system work with this one, so I can add it to my system?
FraeschD neither, they work by measuring the variations of the capacitance when that mass moves and get closer to one side or the other, accelerometers have 3 masses that moves to each of the three axis (x,y,z)
Ramiro, the capacitance changes in the ceramic material due to the alignment of the dipoles. This alignment is caused by the electric field from the mechanical stress (piezoelectric effect)
Are OIS systems in phones similar to the gyroscope? Gimbals are widely used in the video world so are the companies pioneering of OIS in smartphones leveraging gimbals?
