Rate or Position measurement using Solid State Gyroscope


updated:14/08/08

Hi friends,
here is a circuit to measure rate of a rotating object using solid state gyro ADXRS150 (used here is DIP sized evaluation version). this circuit gives output of -10v to +10v for rate upto 80 deg/sec in both the directions (i.e. -80 to +80 deg/sec). A direction o/p logic signal is also there to feed to microcontroller. Temperature of gyroscope also can be measured with onchip ADC of the microcontroller like ATmega32 (describd in previos post), which can be used for temperature compensation of the gyro o/p.

find the detailed datasheet of ADXRS150 here:
