Makers, and developers that are creating robotic projects using the Arduino platform maybe interested in a new Arduino compatible gyroscope sensor created by Martin Cote based in Canada. The 3 axis ...

In a 4 mm x 4 mm x 1 mm package, the L3GD20 digital gyroscope combines high sensing resolution with high immunity to audio noise and vibrations to make motion-sensing user interfaces more realistic.

Traditionally, gyroscopes were mechanical devicesthat measured the angular rate of rotation. Onecommon use of gyroscopes has been in navigationsystems to provide heading estimation.Installing these ...
