RG20 dual axis solid state rate gyrocompass
The RG20 is a dual axis solid state rate gyro based on the XV-3500CB Epson gyro. The RG20 converts clockwise and counter clockwise rotation into an analog signal that swings between 0V and 3.3VDC. The RG20 measures rotation up to 100 degrees/second. The small board can be mounted on an optional holder - WS12 which is sold seperately. The RG20 requires 3.0-3.3VDC and approximately 4ma.
The RG20 can be mounted on the WS12 adapter. The WS12 mounts on the Wasp Embedded Processor. The second picture shows the RG20 mounted on a WS12 which in turn is mounted on a Wasp and USB10 communications platform. The Wasp, WS12 and USB10 are available seperately.
