Questions tagged [gyro]
A gyroscope measures angular orientation and is calibrated relative to it's starting orientation. A true Gyro is a relatively rare and expensive piece of equipment, Most MEMs based "gyros" are actually rate gyros which have an output proportional to the rate of change of angular orientation.
