Gyroscope

A gyroscope is a device used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity.It is a spinning wheel or disc in which the axis of rotation is free to assume any orientation by itself. When rotating, the orientation of this axis is unaffected by tilting or rotation of the mounting, according to the conservation of angular momentum.

Gyroscopes based on other operating principles also exist, such as the microchip-packaged MEMS gyroscopes found in electronic devices, solid-state ring lasers, fibre optic gyroscopes, and the extremely sensitive quantum gyroscope. MEMS gyroscopes are popular in some consumer electronics, such as smartphones.

SparkFun Tri-Axis Gyro Breakout – L3G4200D

This is a breakout board for the L3G4200D low-power three-axis angular rate sensor. The L3G4200D is a MEMS motion sensor and has a full scale of ±250 or ±500 or ±2000 dps and is capable of measuring rates with a user selectable bandwidth. These work great in gaming and virtual reality input devices, GPS navigation systems and robotics.
