Description:
These registers store the most recent gyroscope measurements.
Gyroscope measurements are written to these registers at the Sample Rate as defined in Register
25.
These gyroscope measurement registers, along with the accelerometer measurement registers,
temperature measurement registers, and external sensor data registers, are composed of two sets of
registers: an internal register set and a user-facing read register set.
The data within the gyroscope sensorsinternal register set is always updated at the Sample Rate.
Meanwhile, the user-facing read register set duplicates the internal register set’s data values
whenever the serial interface is idle. This guarantees that a burst read of sensor registers will read
measurements from the same sampling instant. Note that if burst reads are not used, the user is
responsible for ensuring a set of single byte reads correspond to a single sampling instant by
checking the Data Ready interrupt.
Each 16-bit gyroscope measurement has a full scale defined in FS_SEL (Register 27). For each full
scale setting, the gyroscopes’ sensitivity per LSB in GYRO_xOUT is shown in the table below:
FS_SEL
