What is it?

The 3 Axis Gyroscope allows you to track the movement of the head or arm and convert it into analog signal outputs, exactly like a potentiometer. Like other versions of the mhpro.net's Gyroscopes, it can be configured into normal or reverse action mode. This is for a DIY home-project lover who dreams of doing a movement tracking system himself. This system has been specially designed for DIY in electronics or robotics for all ages; people who want to explore electronics and want their own system, but are less comfortable with advanced programming of accelerometers. You can use one or more axes (X, Y, Z) independently, according to your needs.

To be more technical

The gyroscope outputs analog signals: 0 to input power voltage (5-12 volts) or 0 - 3.3 volts. Your choice. And independently for each axis. When turning on, the X and Y axis will output 2.5 volts (in case of 5 volts input) and will tend to 0 volt if you rotate the gyroscope one way (-90 degree) and tend to 5 volts the other way (90 degrees). The Z axis will do the same but with +- 180 degrees of rotation.

Other new features

Unique connector for all wires. Easier to connect power and signals with this small pre-wired connector. Included with the new version. I added an optional connection in case you need a remote centering button.

Limitation: The gyro outputs must be connected to the input ports of your hardware. They can not drive LEDs or others directly.
