Inertial and Gyro Sensor#

Introduction#

The Inertial and Gyro Sensor measures the rotation and orientation of the V5 robot. The sensors can report movement along the x, y, and z axes and can be used to determine heading, rotation, and tilt. The Inertial Sensor can additionally measure its acceleration along the x, y, and z axes.

Inertial or Gyro Sensor blocks will only appear when either sensor is configured independently, not as part of a drivetrain configuration, in the Devices window.

Below is a list of available blocks:

Inertial acceleration#

The Inertial acceleration block returns the current acceleration value from one of the Inertial Sensor’s axes from -4.0 to 4.0 Gs.

Note: This block is only available for Inertial Sensors.

axis

The axis to measure acceleration on:

  • x
  • y
  • z

Inertial gyro rate#

The Inertial gyro rate block returns the rate of rotation around one of the Inertial Sensor’s axes in dps (degrees per second).

Note: This block is only available for Inertial Sensors.

axis

The axis to measure the gyro rate for:

  • y
  • z

Inertial orientation#

The Inertial orientation block returns the roll, pitch, or yaw of the Inertial Sensor in degrees.

Note: This block is only available for Inertial Sensors.

angle

The orientation to measure:

  • roll
  • pitch
  • yaw

calibrate Inertial/Gyro#

The calibrate Inertial/Gyro block calibrates the configured Inertial or Gyro Sensor. All subsequent blocks will wait for the calibration to complete before executing. Calibration is an internal procedure that measures and compensates for sensor noise and drift over a specified period. During this time, the sensor must remain completely still (i.e., on a stable surface without any external movement). Movement during calibration will produce inaccurate results.
