NXP FXAS21002 Element
The FXAS21002 element is used to measure the hardware’s orientation and angular velocity. This element is for using the NXP FXAS21002 three-axis digital gyroscope and angular sensor.
The FXAS21002 is a sensor element that can be imported into the Element Toolbox through the Add Element button located in the toolbox from the Embedded tab. Rapid IoT projects have this element imported by default.
