L3G4200D 3-Axis Gyroscope Module

The L3G4200D is a compact MEMS-based 3-axis digital gyroscope module designed to measure angular velocity around the X, Y, and Z axes (roll, pitch, and yaw). It is widely used in motion tracking, stabilization systems, and embedded electronics projects. The module integrates a high-performance gyroscope sensor with a breakout board, making it easy to interface with microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi. It provides precise rotational data, enabling accurate orientation and motion detection in real time.
