Questions tagged [gyroscope]

A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principles of angular momentum. Modern high-end Mobile devices have been supplying this device.Thus, many uses are found in Android API and iOS API.

A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principles of angular momentum. Mechanically, a gyroscope is a spinning wheel or disk in which the axle is free to assume any orientation. Although this orientation does not remain fixed, it changes in response to an external torque much less and in a different direction than it would without the large angular momentum associated with the disk's high rate of spin and moment of inertia. Since external torque is minimized by mounting the device in gimbals, its orientation remains nearly fixed, regardless of any motion of the platform on which it is mounted.

Why can't specify sensor delay for gyroscope

As we know we can specify the sensor delay as an absolute value (in microseconds) above Android 3.0 (API Level 11) from this link. I tried it for accelerometers, it really worked. I set the time delay for 2s, and the interval showing the…
