Gyroscope L3G4200D

Post by 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...

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?

EDIT: I found this topic after some search that did not came up with the first shot. Here it is

Thanks
George
