Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__init__()

def vex.Gyro.__init__	(		self,
			triport_port
	)

Use this class when programming with a gyro sensor.

Member Function Documentation

value()

def vex.Gyro.value	(		self,
			rotationUnits = RotationUnits.DEG
	)

Gets the value of the gyro sensor.

Parameters

rotationUnits

The unit type of the value that is returned.

Returns

Returns an integer that represents the unit value specified by the parameter of the gyroscopic sensor.

start_calibration()

def vex.Gyro.start_calibration	(		self,
			value = 0
	)

Starts recalibration of gyro.

Note that the gyro is automatically calibrated when the constructor is called.

Parameters

value

The level of calibration

is_calibrating()

def vex.Gyro.is_calibrating

(

self

)

Returns recalibration status of gyro.

Returns

Returns True if gyro is still calibrating.

heading()

def vex.Gyro.heading	(		self,
			rotationUnits = RotationUnits.DEG
	)

Gets the heading (yaw angle as 0-360 deg) of the gyro sensor.

Returns

value (float number) specified by the unit.

Parameters

rotationUnits

The measurement unit for the inertial sensor.

rotation()

def vex.Gyro.rotation	(		self,
			rotationUnits = RotationUnits.DEG
	)

Gets the absolute angle (yaw angle without limits) of the gyro sensor.

Returns

value (float number) specified by the unit.

Parameters

rotationUnits

The measurement unit for the gyro sensor.

set_heading()

def vex.Gyro.set_heading	(		self,
			value,
			rotationUnits = RotationUnits.DEG
	)

brief Set the gyro sensor heading to a new value

Parameters

value	The new heading for the gyro sensor
rotationUnits	The rotation unit for the angle

reset_heading()

def vex.Gyro.reset_heading

(

self

)

Reset the gyro sensor angle to 0.

set_rotation()

def vex.Gyro.set_rotation	(		self,
			value,
			rotationUnits = RotationUnits.DEG
	)

reset_rotation()

def vex.Gyro.reset_rotation

(

self

)

Reset the gyro sensor rotation to 0.
