# l3gd20-python

Python library for the L3GD20 I2C 3-axis gyroscope

## Usage

1. Install the Python `smbus` module for your platform (`sudo apt install python-smbus` for Debian or Ubuntu Linux)

2. `pip install l3gd20-python`

3. `sudo l3gd20_test`

## Example Code

```python

import time

import smbus

import l3gd20

i2c_channel = 1

bus = smbus.SMBus(i2c_channel)

# Will raise OSError if device is not connected

device = l3gd20.L3GD20(bus)

# Set range, 250 degrees/second is default

# Supported:

# RANGE_250DPS

# RANGE_500DPS

# RANGE_2000DPS

device.set_range(l3gd20.RANGE_250DPS)

# Wait for gyro to stabilize

time.sleep(0.5)

while True:

    # Returns x,y,z tuple with values in degrees/second

    data = device.read()

    print([round(v, 2) for v in data])

    time.sleep(0.1)

```
