Accelerometer vs. Gyroscope - What's the Difference Between These Popular Sensors?

The motion sensor is a very popular class of sensor that sees frequent usage in IoT products. Two particular kinds of motion sensors that are common are accelerometers and gyroscopes. Both sensors are often included together in many devices, and many people aren’t sure of what the exact differences are between the two. In this video, Symmetry Electronics takes a swing at providing a bird’s eye overview of the differences between accelerometers and gyroscopes while trying to limit the technical details.

Simple explanation of Gyroscope vs Accelerometer:
1. Acceleromter measures how fast object is moving along axis. How fast it moves within X, Y and Z.
2. Gyroscope measures how fast object is rotatition around axis. How was it rotates around X, Y and Z.
