ch.aplu.ev3.HTGyroSensor

public class HTGyroSensor
extends Sensor

Class that represents a gyro sensor from HiTechnic. The sensor reports the angular velocity. To get the current rotation angle (heading) you must use a separate thread to poll the sensor in a tight loop (of about 1 ms) and integrate the reported values. See also net.mosen.nxt.GyroSensor (author Kirk P. Thomson).
