Gyroscopic sensors are handy little devices as they allow you to measure angular rotation with selectable resolutions using a standard microcontroller.
We've got two different boards which use the same chip, however, the Adafruit one has a nicer silkscreen guide and pin labelling if that's what your after. Alternatively, the Pololu board is just as good, but in a different form factor, without the fancy silkscreen.
This sensor is a carrier/breakout board for the ST L3GD20H three-axis gyroscope, which measures the angular rates of rotation about the roll (X), pitch (Y), and yaw (Z) axes. Angular velocity measurements with a configurable range of ±245°/s, ±500°/s, or ±2000°/s can be read through a digital I²C or SPI interface. The board has a 3.3 V linear regulator and integrated level-shifters that allow it to work over an input voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V, and the 0.1″ pin spacing makes it easy to use with standard solderless breadboards and 0.1″ perfboards.
The NXP Precision 9DoF breakout combines two of the best motion sensors Adafruit have tested here at Adafruit: The FXOS8700 3-Axis accelerometer and magnetometer, and the...
