Bases: object

DFRobot ADXRS610 Gyro Breakout board.

ID: adxrs610

Name: Gyro Breakout Board (300 Degrees/second)

Other Names: ADXRS610

Category: compass

Manufacturer: dfrobot

Connection: analog The ADXRS610 is a MEMS based single axis gyroscope with a range of +/- 300 degrees/sec. It also incorporates a temperature sensing unit that can be used for advanced calibration.

This sensor returns an analog voltage proportional to the rotation about the Z-axis in degrees/sec. The temperature component returns a proportional analog values in degrees C.

This driver was developed using the DFRobot ADXRS610 Gyro Breakout board.

C++ includes: adxrs610.hpp

calibrateZeroPoint(samples=50)

float calibrateZeroPoint(unsigned int samples=50)

This method samples the data pin samples times to produce an average. This value can then be used as the zero point ( setZeroPoint()).

samples: the number of samples to take an average over. The default is 50.

the average of the reading over samples times.

getAngularVelocity()

float getAngularVelocity()

Return the measured angular velocity in degrees/sec.

the current angular velocity in degrees/sec

getDataVolts()

float getDataVolts()

Returns the voltage detected on the DATA analog pin

The detected voltage

getTemperature()

float getTemperature()

Return the measured temperature in Celsius. Note, the datasheet says that this value is very repeatable, but is not an accurate absolute temperature.

the current temperature in C

getTemperatureVolts()

float getTemperatureVolts()

Returns the voltage detected on the TEMP analog pin

The detected voltage

getZeroPoint()

float getZeroPoint()

Return the zero point value.

the current zero point value

setDeadband(deadband)

void setDeadband(float deadband)

This method allows you to specify a deadband region around the zero point of the gyro (at rest). This can be used as a primitive filter to ignore movment around the zero point.

deadband: The voltage around the zero point which will be ignored

setZeroPoint(zeroPoint)

void setZeroPoint(float zeroPoint)

Set the zero point. This is the point measured and averaged when the sensor is not moving. It is set at construction time (averaged over a number of samples), but can be overridden here.

zeroPoint: The averaged zero point of the sensor at rest
