Little Bird L3G4200D based 3 Axis Gyro

A low-power 3-axis angular rate sensor based on the L3G4200D gyroscope. Measures rotation rate on X, Y, and Z axes with three selectable full-scale ranges, plus includes an embedded temperature sensor for compensation.

Features both I²C and SPI digital interfaces for flexible integration with microcontrollers. The compact SIP package includes a mounting hole for easy installation in your projects.
