+ | The GY-521 can be used to measure the orientation of the device. It can sense motion including vertical and horizontal rotation. There are a lot of practical uses of gyroscope especially in aerospace. It can be used as a stability assistance device to make sure that a rocket, a spacecraft, or an aircraft maintains the correct orientation. | ||
