Lego Mindstorm HT NXT Gyro Sensor NGY1044

Measure the additional dimension of rotation with the NXT Gyro Sensor. This sensor that lets you accurately detect rotation for your NXT projects. The NXT Gyro Sensor returns the number of degrees per second of rotation as well as indicating the direction of rotation. Measure +/- 360° per second and build robots that can balance, swing or perform other functions where measurement of rotation is essential.

The NXT Gyro Sensor contains a single axis gyroscopic sensor that detects rotation and returns a value representing the number of degrees per second of rotation.   The Gyro Sensor can measure up to +/- 360° per second of rotation.

The Gyro Sensor connects to an NXT sensor port using a standard NXT wire and utilizes the analog sensor interface.  The rotation rate can be read up to approximately 300 times per second.

The Gyro Sensor is housed in a standard Mindstorms sensor housing to match the other Mindstorms elements.

The axis of measurement is in the vertical plane with the gyro sensor positioned with the black end cap facing upwards is shown.

To quick test your new sensor, plug it into port 1 of your NXT brick and select View – Ambient light – Port 1. As you rotate the sensor as shown, you’ll notice that the readings will change from the nominal 40 center value. The faster you rotate the sensor, the larger the deviation from 40. This is a test only and not a demonstration of how the sensor should be used.
