Gyroscope L3G4200D

[hypamat]

hey guys,
sorry to keep asking questions, but I'm a bit of a "newbie" i am trying to get the gyroscope to work, but i can't get it to read it properly in the simulation. i have got the gyroscope and a LCD screen on the components window, and i just want to read the Y axis for now, but all it shows is zero, even if i adjust the inputs in the simulation. Along with this not working, it concerned me that it only showed a whole number, not (for example) 27.6 is there a way to do this, too?

thanks for your help,
Matt

It helps if you post your program source so we can take a look and try to find what is wrong with it. Now there is not a lot to go on...

(To attach a flow code file, choose the 'Upload attachment' TAB below the 'Save', 'Preview' and 'Submit' buttons. Browse to the file and click on 'Add the file')

ah, that would help! I've attached my fcfx file now, please let me know what you think

thanks!

Hi Matt,
Just before GetY(), Try placing A Gyroscope SampleDevice().

Also don't forget, before compiling to hex you will need a Gyroscope Initialise at the start of main.

Just to close this topic, i have finished my flow code file and would like to share it as a example for others reading it checks to make sure the communication to the device is working properly, and then gives you a x, y and z reading from the sensor and displays that on a LCD screen, useful to build on

Thanks again,
matt

Hello, I was trying to communicate with a gyro module MPU-6050 but i was unable to do so. I think the two versions have a different controlled technique?


Any idea of how i can get some data out of this module?
