Sample program demonstrating the EBM009 Gyroscope Sensor.

The program plots X, Y and Z data onto the LCD screen.

	GetX
Returns the previously sampled X axis data
- INT	Return

	GetY
Returns the previously sampled Y axis data
- INT	Return

	GetZ
Returns the previously sampled Z axis data
- INT	Return

	Initialise
Initialise the component. Returns 0 if successful
- BYTE	Return

	ReadRegister
Read the data byte at the given address of the device
- BYTE	Reg
address of the register to be read
- BYTE	Return

	SampleDevice
Reads the Axis data from the device. Returns 0 if successful
- BYTE	Return

	WriteRegister
Writes the data byte to the given address of the device. Returns 0 if successful
- BYTE	Reg
address of register to be written with data byte
- BYTE	data
data byte to be written to device register
- BYTE	Return

	Stop Delay
On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event. Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the I2C communications.
