The Gyroscope Module is a low power 3-axis angular rate sensor featuring temperature data as an added bonus. Raw measured angular rate and temperature data are accessed from the selectable digital interface (I2C or SPI). The module features a small package design and has an easy to access SIP interface with a mounting hole for quick connectivity to your projects. It is designed for use with a large variety of microcontrollers with different voltage requirements.
3-axis angular rate sensor (yaw, pitch and roll) Supports I2C and SPI communications Three selectable scales: 250/500/2000 degrees/sec (dps) High shock survivability Embedded temperature sensor: -40 to +85°C Power-down and sleep mode 16-bit rate value data output 8-bit temperature data output Power requirement: 2.7 to 6.5Vdc Communication: I2C (up to 400kHz) or SPI (10MHz, 4 & 3 wire) Operating temperature range: -40 to +85°C Dimensions: 21.6 x 20.3mm
