HiTechnic NXT Gyro Sensor
The NXT Gyro Sensor contains a single axis gyroscopic sensor that detects rotation.

The code for this sensor has not been tested. Please report test results to the leJOS forum.

Constructor Detail

HiTechnicGyro

public HiTechnicGyro(AnalogPort port)

Supports the SampleProvider interface.
The sensor measures the angular velocity in degrees per second. A positive rate indicates a counterclockwise rotation. A negative rate indicates a clockwise rotation.

Parameters:

port - the Analog port

HiTechnicGyro

public HiTechnicGyro(Port port)

Supports the SampleProvider interface.
The sensor measures the angular velocity in degrees per second. A positive rate indicates a counterclockwise rotation. A negative rate indicates a clockwise rotation.

Parameters:

port - the Sensor port

Method Detail

init

protected void init()

getRateMode

public SensorMode getRateMode()

HiTechnic Gyro sensor, Rate mode
The Rate mode measures the angular speed of the sensor over three axes

Size and content of the sample
The sample contains one element giving the angular speed (in degrees/second) of the sensor over its vertical axis (Z-axis).
