PhysCompass is a contact-based, very low-friction, angular position and speed sensor that promises to be accurate, reliable, and extremely easy to use. Based on vernier interpolation, PhysCompass can measure the angle of any rotating object with a resolution as fine as 0.6° and a range that has no limits!
This digital PhysInstrument is direction-sensitive and features hardware tare, connects with PhysLogger, and is adaptable for rods, pendulums, rotors, and similar setups.
This device enables investigation of nonlinear and chaotic motion using a magnetically controlled pendulum, supports studies in rotational mechanics and oscillator physics, and can track motor or shaft rotation, with applications in biomechanics, clinical measurements, robotics, and vehicles.
