General Description GYPRO-EVB2 breakout board is intended to easily and quickly perform characterizations of GYPRO2300, GYPRO2300LD and GYPRO3300 gyroscopes with the Tronics Evaluation Tool. GYPRO-EVB2 was specially designed to be interfaced with an Arduino M0 and Arduino Yn boards. The combination of GYPRO-EVB2 with the Arduino platform is ideally suited for tests with rate table over the temperature range -40C to +85C . The 3.3V and 5V compatibility for SPI communication also enables connecting the GYPRO-EVB2 with most of the acquisition systems and microcontrollers in the market. This document describes the mechanical and electrical features of the GYPRO-EVB2 board as well as the SPI protocol used for the digital communication. This document is applicable for the whole GYPRO product line, including GYPRO2300, GYPRO2300LD and GYPRO3300 gyros. For more information about performances of each product, please refer to the dedicated datasheet, available on our website. Copyright 2017 Tronics Microsystems S.A.. All rights reserved.
