Gyroscope Vs Accelerometer
What is difference between Gyroscope and Accelerometer? At present I can't able to distinguish it because both detect just device rotation.
If anybody share some knowledge regarding this then it is really become helpful to me.
@user_2015, really thanks, I will go through this.
The accelerometer result, I think, is the smoothed result. This is why it acts like a Gyro.
You need to access its raw data and utilise the array it provides to analyse the fine movements.

A gyroscope is a device that uses Earth’s gravity to help determine orientation. If you need only apply a rotation, you must use a gyroscope.
An accelerometer is a compact device designed to measure non-gravitational acceleration. This it is using for movements.
