rdv-gy512 Library

An Arduino library to simplify reading values from the GY-512 gyroscope, accelerometer, and temperature sensor. Shortens code and makes it much more readable. Get raw sensor values or processed data in SI units (m/s^2, degrees, celsius) with simple to use functions!

Available Functions

Here are the available functions and their purposes.

• sensor_init()
   Initializes device for communication. Absolutely crucial to initialize the device in the void setup() function.
  
  
• get_raw_accel_x()
   Returns acceleration value in the x-axis as measured by the sensor.
  
  
• get_raw_accel_y()
   Returns acceleration value in the y-axis as measured by the sensor.
  
  
• get_raw_accel_z()
   Returns acceleration value in the z-axis as measured by the sensor.
  
  
• get_accel_x()
   Returns acceleration in the x-axis in m/s^2.
  
  
• get_accel_y()
   Returns acceleration in the y-axis in m/s^2.
  
  
• get_accel_z()
   Returns acceleration in the z-axis in m/s^2.
  
  
• get_raw_gyro_x()
   Returns value of rotation in the x-axis as measured by the sensor.
  
  
• get_raw_gyro_y()
   Returns value of rotation in the y-axis as measured by the sensor.
  
  
• get_raw_gyro_z()
   Returns value of rotation in the z-axis as measured by the sensor.
  
  
• get_gyro_x()
   Returns angle of rotation in the x-axis in degrees.
  
  
• get_gyro_y()
   Returns angle of rotation in the y-axis in degrees.
  
  
• get_gyro_z()
   Returns angle of rotation in the z-axis in degrees.
  
  
• get_temperature()
   Returns temperature at the sensor in degrees celsius.
