Introduction

CircuitPython module for the NXP FXAS21002C gyroscope.

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython
• Bus Device

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-fxas21002c

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-fxas21002c

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-fxas21002c

Usage Example

import time
import board
import busio
import adafruit_fxas21002c

i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
sensor = adafruit_fxas21002c.FXAS21002C(i2c)

while True:
    gyro_x, gyro_y, gyro_z = sensor.gyroscope
    print('Gyroscope (radians/s): ({0:0.3f},  {1:0.3f},  {2:0.3f})'.format(gyro_x, gyro_y, gyro_z))
    time.sleep(1.0)
