gyroscopes

Hi,

Anyone have an idea of how to synchronize a gyroscpe and an accelerometer ?

Try checking the forum for “Projects”. You meant combining them to come out with a more accurate estimation of true angle right?

You could use a low pass filter first to the accelerometer signal to remove unwanted noise and vibrations.

With gyro signal, it gives you rate of change of angle. So you have to integrate it first before combining with the accelerometer signal. You could use a uC to integrate the signal. Then just add both signals.

Another method is Kalman filtering which is very hard. My latest experiments lately is using op-amps to use analog computing to do the adding and integrating for me. Try using the above technique first. Maybe the above technique is sufficient for your project.
