class vex.gyro_sensor.Gyro(index: Ports, calibrate: bool = True)[source]

Bases: Device

Gyro Sensor.

ROBOT MESH PYTHON B:

robotmesh.com/studio/content/docs/vexiq-python_b/html/classvex_1_1_gyro.html

heading(rotationUnits: RotationUnits = RotationUnits.DEG) → float[source]

Return Gyro Heading Angle Value.

ROBOT MESH PYTHON B:

Get the angle of the gyro sensor.

Parameters: - rotationUnits: The measurement unit for the gyro device.

is_calibrating() → bool[source]

Check if Gyro Sensor is calibrating.

ROBOT MESH PYTHON B:

Return True while gyro sensor is performing a requested recalibration.

(changing to false once recalibration has completed)

Returns True if gyro is still calibrating.

rotation(rotationUnits: RotationUnits = RotationUnits.DEG) → float[source]

Return Gyro Cumulative Rotation Angle Value.

ROBOT MESH PYTHON B:

Get the absolute angle of the gyro sensor.

Parameters: - rotationUnits: The measurement unit for the gyro device.

set_heading(value: float = 0, rotationUnits: RotationUnits = RotationUnits.DEG)[source]

Set Gyro Heading Angle Value.

ROBOT MESH PYTHON B:

Set the gyro sensor angle to angle.

Parameters: - value: The new heading for the gyro - rotationUnits: The rotation unit for the heading

set_rotation(value: float = 0, rotationUnits: RotationUnits = RotationUnits.DEG)[source]

Set Gyro Cumulative Rotation Angle Value.

ROBOT MESH PYTHON B:

Set the gyro sensor rotation to angle.

Parameters: - value: The new absolute angle for the gyro - rotationUnits: The rotation unit for the angle

start_calibration(gyroCalibrationType: GyroCalibrationType = GyroCalibrationType.QUICK, waitForCompletion: bool = True)[source]

Start calibrating Gyro Sensor.

ROBOT MESH PYTHON B:

Start recalibration of the gyro.

Parameters: - gyroCalibrationType: amount of time for calibration,

GyroCalibrationType enum value.

  • waitForCompletion: wait for calibration to complete
