Detailed Description

• ID: adxrs610
• Name: DFRobot ADXRS610 Gyro Beakout board
• 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 Beakout board.

Member Function Documentation

float calibrateZeroPoint

(

long

samples

)

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

Parameters

samples

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

Returns

the average of the reading over samples times.

float getAngularVelocity

(

)

Return the measured angular velocity in degrees/sec.

Returns

the current angular velocity in degrees/sec

float getDataVolts

(

)

Returns the voltage detected on the DATA analog pin

Returns

The detected voltage

float getTemperature

(

)

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

Returns

the current temperature in C

float getTemperatureVolts

(

)

Returns the voltage detected on the TEMP analog pin

Returns

The detected voltage

float getZeroPoint

(

)

Return the zero point value.

Returns

the current zero point value

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.

Parameters

deadband

The voltage around the zero point which will be ignored

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 overriden here.

Parameters

zeroPoint

The averaged zero point of the sensor at rest
