The Modern Robotics Integrating Gyro sensor reads the rate of rotation around the X, Y, and Z axes. The sensor also calculates a heading based on movement around the Z-axis. The heading value is great for navigation and shows the current heading in degrees from 0 – 359 from a point where the heading value was reset to zero.
The heading is calculated in the sensor by the onboard microcontroller which reads the gyro sensor Z-axis output approximately 760 times per second. Performing the heading calculations within the sensor provides much greater accuracy than can be achieved if the calculation was done by the host. The heading value can be reset to zero at any time.
There is an LED in the sensor that blinks at 1Hz during normal operation and will remain on during a null and reset operations.
