L3G4200D-Python

L3G4200D Gyro interface in python, using I2C.

Currently, this code opens port i2c-1 in /dev and imports raw data(signed int) of each gyro axis. you must have python installed "apt-get install python" in command line do "python gyro.py" to stream raw axis data from the gyro. the readings are noisy, and that's normal.

you should get something like this:

    -1        -14          6
     4        -15          5
    -1        -15         10
    -4        -19          4
    -2        -15         11
     2        -19          7
     1        -17         10
     8        -15         10
     5        -16          7
     2        -17          6
     0        -18         10
    -2        -16         14

you can type "python gyro.py > data.tsv", then ctrl C to stop. take data.tsv, open it in MS Excel or equivelant, and plot the data to visualise the gyro movements.
