Interface Gyroscope

All Known Subinterfaces:

IntegratingGyroscope

public interface Gyroscope

The Gyroscope interface exposes core, fundamental functionality that is applicable to all gyroscopes: that of reporting angular rotation rate.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
AngularVelocity	getAngularVelocity(AngleUnit unit) Returns the angular rotation rate across all the axes measured by the gyro.
java.util.Set<Axis>	getAngularVelocityAxes() Returns the axes on which the gyroscope measures angular velocity.

Method Detail

getAngularVelocityAxes

java.util.Set<Axis> getAngularVelocityAxes()

Returns the axes on which the gyroscope measures angular velocity. Some gyroscopes measure angular velocity on all three axes (X, Y, & Z) while others measure on only a subset, typically the Z axis. This method allows you to determine what information is usefully returned through getAngularVelocity(AngleUnit).

Returns:

the axes on which the gyroscope measures angular velocity.

getAngularVelocity

AngularVelocity getAngularVelocity(AngleUnit unit)

Returns the angular rotation rate across all the axes measured by the gyro. Axes on which angular velocity is not measured are reported as zero.

Parameters:

unit - the unit in which the rotation rates are to be returned (the time dimension is always inverse-seconds).

Returns:

the angular rotation rate across all the supported axes
