Device::Gyroscope::L3GD20 - I2C interface to Gyroscope on the L3GD20 using Device::SMBus
version 0.004
Containd the I2CDevice Address for the bus on which your gyroscope is connected. It would look like 0x6b. Default is 0x6b.
Unless you are modifying gyroscope setup you must not change this. This contains the Gyroscope gain value which helps in converting the raw measurements from gyroscope register in to degrees per second.
This is the raw value for the X axis when the gyro is stationary. This is a part of gyro calibration to get more accurate values for rotation.
This is the raw value for the Y axis when the gyro is stationary. This is a part of gyro calibration to get more accurate values for rotation.
This is the raw value for the Z axis when the gyro is stationary. This is a part of gyro calibration to get more accurate values for rotation.
Time when the last reading was taken
time taken between last reading and current reading. Make sure to take atleast two readings before you use this value for any calculations in your program otherwise you will get a bad value in this the first time you read the gyroscope.
$self->enable()
Initializes the device, Call this before you start using the device. This function sets up the appropriate default registers. The Device will not work properly unless you call this function
$self->getRawReading()
Return raw readings from accelerometer registers. Note that if XZero,YZero or ZZero are set, this function returns the values adjusted from the values at default non rotating state of the gyroscope. Its recommended that you set these values to achieve accurate results from the gyroscope.
Return gyroscope readings in degrees per second
