Adafruit 9-DOF Absolute Orientation IMU Fusion Breakout - L3GD20 Driver

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-l3gd20

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-l3gd20

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-l3gd20

Usage Example

Of course, you must import the library to use it:

import adafruit_l3gd20

This driver takes an instantiated and active I2C object as an argument to its constructor.

import board

i2c = board.I2C()

Once you have the I2C object, you can create the sensor object:

sensor = adafruit_l3gd20.L3GD20_I2C(i2c)

And then you can start reading the measurements:

print(sensor.gyro)
