Elecrow CROWTAIL Analog Gyro Sensor 2.0 - Murata ENC-03R, 1-Axis Angular Velocity, 5V

The module is designed to operate at a nominal 5V DC. It is crucial to stay within this specified voltage to ensure accurate sensor readings and prevent damage to the internal Murata ENC-03R component. Always power it from a regulated 5V source compatible with your microcontroller system.

Connect the module's CROWTAIL connector to an analog input pin on your Arduino (e.g., A0). The sensor outputs a voltage that varies with angular velocity. In your code, use the `analogRead()` function to sample this voltage. You will need to calibrate the sensor to establish the relationship between the analog reading (0-1023) and the actual angular rate (typically degrees per second).

This sensor measures angular velocity, which is the rate of rotation (e.g., degrees per second or radians per second). It does not directly output an angle. To determine the angle of rotation, you must integrate the angular velocity signal over time in your software, a process known as dead reckoning, which can accumulate drift error without a complementary sensor like an accelerometer.

CROWTAIL is Elecrow's standardized interface for sensor modules, using a specific pin header that plugs directly into compatible base shields or breakout boards. It consolidates signal, power, and ground connections into one connector, simplifying wiring. For this analog gyro, the interface provides the 5V power, ground, and the analog output signal line.
