Arduino101Gyroscope

The Arduino101Gyroscope component lets users configure the Arduino 101’s on-board gyroscope and receive one or more gyroscope samples via the appropriate methods.

• View the how to instructions for the Arduino 101 Gyroscope.

Properties

• BluetoothDevice – The BluetoothLE component with a connection to the Arduino 101.

Methods

• IsSupported – Check whether the feature is currently available for the device connected via the BluetoothDevice property. If no device is currently connected, this method will always return false.

• ReadGyroscopeData – Read a single sample of gyroscope data from the Arduino. On successful read, the GyroscopeDataReceived event will be run.

• RequestGyroscopeDataUpdates – Request notifications of changes in the Arduino’s gyroscope. Gyroscope data will be reported through the GyroscopeDataReceived event.

• StopGyroscopeDataUpdates – Stop receiving updates from the Arduino’s gyroscope. Note that there may be pending messages from the device that will still be reported through the GyroscopeDataReceived event. This method has no effect if RequestGyroscopeDataUpdates has not been previously called.

Events

• GyroscopeDataReceived – The GyroscopeDataReceived event is run whenever gyroscope samples are received from the Arduino 101. This is usually a result of performing a read or request operation. The X and Y angles are reported in degrees.

  Parameters:

  • X_Angle (number) — The rotation of the device around its X axis, in degrees.
  • Y_Angle (number) — The rotation of the device around its Y axis, in degrees.
