3 Axis Gyro L3G4200D

The definition of a gyroscope is to sense spinning motions. Now paired with accelerometer enables it to make 3D motion capture and inertial calculations. The breakout board is from STMicro's L3GD200. The chip can offer ±250, ±500, or ±2000 degree-per-second scale for a broad range of sensitivity. It supports both I2C and SPI so you can interface with any microcontroller easily. To get started - connect SDA to your Arduino I2C data pin GND to ground and VIN to 3.3V.

• Three selectable full scales (250/500/2000 dps)
  
• I2C/SPI digital output interface
  
• 16 bit-rate value data output
  
• 8-bit temperature data output
  
• Wide supply voltage: 2.4 V to 3.6 V
  
• Low voltage-compatible (1.8 V)
  
• Embedded power-down and sleep mode
  
• Embedded temperature sensor
  
• High shock survivability
