Gyro Sensor

Measure rate of rotation

Add-On Required: This feature requires the Simulink Support Package for LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Hardware add-on.

Simulink® Support Package for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 Hardware

  • Gyro Sensor block

Description

Measure the rotation of the EV3 Gyro Sensor in degrees per second.

The block output emits values as int32.

During simulations without hardware, this block emits zeros. See Block Produces Zeros or Does Nothing in Simulation.

Parameters

EV3 brick input port

Select the EV3 sensor port to which the sensor is connected. Avoid assigning multiple devices to the same port. The options are 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Sample time

Specify how often the block reads sensor values.

Smaller values require the processor to complete the same number of instructions in less time, which can cause task overruns.
