mikroElektronika Gyro click Quick Start Manual

Gyro click
1. Introduction
Gyro Click is an accessory board in
™
mikroBUS
form factor. It's a compact
™
and easy solution for adding gyroscope
to your design. It features L3GD20 three-
axis digital gyroscope module. Gyro Click
communicates with the target board
microcontroller via mikroBUS SPI (MOSI,
™
MISO, SCK, CS), I C (SDA, SCL), INT and RST
2
lines. The board is designed to use 3.3V
power supply only. LED diode (GREEN)
indicates the presence of power supply.
2. Soldering the headers
Before using your click board™, make sure
to solder 1x8 male headers to both left
and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male
headers are included with the board in
the package.

Turn the board upside down so that
bottom side is facing you upwards. Place
shorter parts of the header pins in both
soldering pad locations.

Turn the board upward again. Make sure
to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder the
pins carefully.
3. Plugging the board in
Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into desired
mikroBUS™ socket. Make sure to align the
cut in the lower-right part of the board
with the markings on the silkscreen at the
mikroBUS™ socket. If all of the pins are
aligned correctly, push the board all
the way into the socket.
4. Essential features
L3GD20
Gyro Click ™ with it's IC is capable
of providing the measured angular rate
to the external world through a digital
L3GD20
interface (I C, SPI). The has a full
2
scale of ±250/ ±500 / ±2000 dps and is
capable of measuring rates with a user-
selectable bandwidth. All these features
make this board ideal for gaming and virtual
reality input devices, motion control, GPS
navigation systems and more.
