    I'm pretty sure this really is the first single chip 3-axis gyroscope. What we saw (perhaps a month or two ago) was the introduction of 2-axis gyros that can be mounted FLAT side-by-side on a PCB so you get the same effect but with two chips. Up until then you always had to mount one of the gyros at 90 deg sticking out of the board.

    Man, you can barely get the latest chip onto a breakout board before something better comes along!

    With all the talk of vibration testing recently, I'm looking forward to the results on this one.
  • did I read the price right? " Unit pricing is $3.6 for volumes " ? so retail price in range if 10 -15 $ ? If I remember reading the difference between the Red and green board , will this module help to bring back the quality ( saturation resilience ) ?
  • Angus, thats really great !
  • good sensors, maybe they can try to make the package a little smaller.
  • Yes a huge plus point, you get much more control over what you are sensing. You can pick the resolution and it can be much faster than I2C or SPI to each sensor. With a digital sensor you are locked into these things.

    Is there any plus point of analog output of a gyro for example take the case of this 3-Axis alalog output Gyro from ST Microelectronics ( LYPR540AH, High-Performance 3-Axis MEMS Gyroscope from STMicroelectronics Packs 360 Degrees of Freedom) ?

  • With the $50 RTK GPS modules coming online, it doesn't take much of a gyro to maintain heading anymore. Time to pick up some $5 lidar modules.
