Arduino/Genuino 101 CurieIMU Gyro
With this tutorial you learn to read the gyroscope raw values and convert them into an angular velocity around each of the three axes. This information is useful to measure rotational movement around the three axes, something that acceleration can't measure if the movement is continuous.
