3.4: Gyroscope

Gyroscope (gyro) sensors are a lot like compasses — they sense rotational motion and detect orientation to figure out what direction something is facing. They're used in everything from space shuttles to cell phones, and now your CoDrone EDU!  In this lesson, you will learn how your CoDrone EDU's gyroscope works and how to program it.
