Class GyroSensor

java.lang.Object

ShefRobot.Sensor<ShefRobot.GyroSensorAction>

ShefRobot.GyroSensor

All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable

public class GyroSensor
extends Sensor<ShefRobot.GyroSensorAction>

This class represents an EV3 GyroSensor which can detect its angle and the rate of change Each EV3 should contain 1 gyro sensor If the sensor seems insensitive, please check that the EV3s battery is charged. ~When tested, these sensors only ever returned 0.~

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
float	getAngle() Measures the orientation of the sensor in respect to its start orientation.
float	getRate() Measures angular velocity of the sensor.
float[]	getRateAndAngle() Measures orientation and angular velocity of the sensor.
void	reset() Resets the Gyro sensor The sensor must be still when this method is called, else it may become mis-calibrated
void	run() This method is for internal use, it exists due to Sensors and Motors both extending runnable.
