LISY300 Gyroscope Module

The LISY300 Gyroscope Module is a single-axis yaw rate sensor providing up to 300°/s full scale rotation detection at up to 88 Hz. Useful in balancing robots or auto-pilot systems, the LISY300 Gyroscope Module can detect how many degrees it has turned on its planar axis allowing the host microcontroller to stabilize the platform or correct for drift.

Features:
  • ± 300°/s full scale
  • Easy SPI interface
  • Small DIP form factor


Application Ideas:
  • R/C Helicopter stabilization
  • Auto-pilot system for R/C airplanes
  • Balancing robot


Key Specifications:
  • Power requirements: 3.4 VDC to 6.5 VDC (5 VDC recommended) @ 5.25 mA
  • Communication: SPI (4 MHz max)
  • Dimensions: 0.75 x 0.69 x 0.47 in (19.18 x 17.56 x 11.95 mm)
  • Operating temp range: +32°F to +158°F (0°C to +70°C)
