L3GD20H Triple-Axis Gyro Breakout Board - L3GD20/L3G4200 Upgrade

A gyroscope is a type of sensor that can sense twisting and turning motions. Often paired with an accelerometer, you can use these to do 3D motion capture and inertial measurement (that is - you can tell how an object is moving!) As these sensors become more popular and easier…
