Gyroscope example myRIO

[ckyamaha]

Hello,

I have tried to use the example of the Gyroscope which is included in the myRIO project-guide:

http://www.ni.com/academic/myrio/project-guide.pdf

Using the provided example vi and without modifying it i get proper response from X and Y axis but the Z axis does not have any effect when i rotate the gyroscope around the Z axis. Both myRIO and the pmod Gyro are brand new. Any clue what could be the problem?

Thank you,

Christos

Hello Christos

When you connect myRIO to the computer, we get the "NI myRIO USB Monitor" where we can test the device.

What behavior you can see on the accelerometers when you move the device?

Hello,

Thanks for your response. The accelerometer works fine, i measure acceleration in all axis as expected. My problem though is not with the accelerometer but it is with the gyro board, pmod gyro which is included in the mechatronics kit.

Hello Christos

Have you checked the initialization registers following this:
L3G4200DMEMS motion sensor: three-axis digital output gyroscope
