L3DG20 gyro question

Post by model14 »

Is the z output (degrees per second) turn direction dependent (e.g. + or -)? How do I tell which way the board is turning?
Thanks,
Richard

Yes. The sign gives you the direction of rotation. It should follow the "right hand rule". See page 7 of the data sheet:
