CurieIMU

readGyro()

Description

Reads the raw value of the gyro.

Syntax

CurieIMU.readGyro(int gx, int gy, int gz)

Parameters

gx: a variable in which the gyro's value along x will be stored.
gy: a variable in which the gyro's value along y will be stored.
gz: a variablle in which the gyro's value along z will be stored.

To convert any of the raw values in angular velocity (°/s) use the following formula:
float av = ( avRaw/32768.9)*getGyroRange()
where avRaw is either gx, gy or gz.
