The Pololu L3GD20 3-Axis Gyro Carrier with Voltage Regulator is a top-notch sensor board that serves as a carrier for the ST L3GD20 three-axis gyroscope. This versatile sensor measures the angular rates of rotation about the roll (X), pitch (Y), and yaw (Z) axes. Users can access angular velocity measurements with a configurable range of ±250°/s, ±500°/s, or ±2000°/s through a digital I²C or SPI interface.
The board is designed with a 3.3 V linear regulator and integrated level-shifters, enabling it to operate over an input voltage range of 2.5–5.5 V. The convenience of the board is further enhanced by the 2.54mm pin spacing, making it compatible with standard solderless breadboards and 2.54mm perfboards.
This sensor board is perfect for robotics projects, drone stabilization systems, and any application where precise measurement of angular velocity is required. The configurable range of the sensor allows it to be fine-tuned to the specific needs of your project, providing accurate and reliable readings.
One of the unique properties of the Pololu L3GD20 3-Axis Gyro Carrier with Voltage Regulator is its compatibility with a wide range of input voltages. This feature makes it a flexible choice for various projects, ensuring it can meet a variety of power requirements.
Please note, this board is being replaced by the newer L3GD20H carrier and LSM6DS33 carrier. However, its high-quality performance and adaptability make it a valuable addition to any project.
