Status:
Gyro 8 Click is a compact add-on board that contains a high-performance gyroscope. This board features Murata's SCR2100-D08, a high-performance single-axis angular rate sensor (gyroscope). Based on Murata's proven capacitive 3D-MEMS technology, the SCR2100-D08 is characterized by high stability and reliability, providing immensely stable output over a wide range of temperatures, humidity, and vibration. This high-resolution gyroscope supports ±125°/s X-axis angular rate measurement range, extensive self-diagnostic features, an SPI serial interface, and low power consumption. This Click board™ is suitable for applications demanding high stability with challenging environmental requirements such as IMUs, platform stabilization, motion analysis and control, and many more.
Gyro 8 Click is fully compatible with the mikroBUS™ socket and can be used on any host system supporting the mikroBUS™ standard. It comes with the mikroSDK open-source libraries, offering unparalleled flexibility for evaluation and customization. What sets this Click board™ apart is the groundbreaking ClickID feature, enabling your host system to seamlessly and automatically detect and identify this add-on board.

Gyro 8 Click is based on the SCR2100-D08, a high-performance single-axis gyroscope from Murata. The SCR2100-D08 is based on proven 3D MEMS technology and highly integrated electronics, offering a performance level characteristic for expensive modules. It consists of an angular rate sensing element and an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) used to sense and control the element through an SPI serial interface. Characterized by high stability and reliability, it provides a stable output over ±125°/s X-axis angular rate measurement range.
An internal angular rate sensing element consists of moving masses exited to in-plane drive motion. Rotation in a sensitive direction causes out-of-plane movement that can be measured as capacitance change with the signal conditioning ASIC. It should be noted that the SCR2100-D08 sensor is factory calibrated, so no separate calibration is required in the application. During manufacturing, the parameters are trimmed during production (sensitivities, offsets, and frequency responses) and stored in non-volatile memory. The parameters are read automatically from the internal non-volatile memory during its Start-up sequence.
Gyro 8 Click communicates with MCU through a register-selectable standard SPI interface that enables high clock speed up to 8MHz for optimum performance, supporting the most common SPI mode, SPI Mode 0. Besides the possibility of controlling and reading gyroscope data via the SPI interface, the SCR2100-D08 also has extensive internal fail-safe diagnostics to detect over-range and possible internal failures and general reset function routed on the RST pin of the mikroBUS™ socket.
This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.

Example Description
This example demonstrates the use of Gyro 8 Click board™ by reading and displaying the temperature and angular rate measurements.
void application_task ( void )
{
float temperature, angular_rate;
if ( GYRO8_OK == gyro8_read_temperature ( &gyro8, &temperature ) )
{
log_printf ( &logger, " Temperature: %.2f degCrn", temperature );
}
if ( GYRO8_OK == gyro8_read_angular_rate ( &gyro8, &angular_rate ) )
{
log_printf ( &logger, " Angular rate: %.2f dpsrnn", angular_rate );
}
Delay_ms ( 100 );
}
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all Mikroe compilers.
This Click board™ is supported with mikroSDK - Mikroe Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
For more information about mikroSDK, visit the official page.
NOTE: Please be advised that any peripheral devices or accessories shown connected to the Click board™ are not included in the package. Check their availability in our shop or in the YMAN section below.
