This sample shows how to use the Windows.Devices.Sensors.Gyrometer API.
This sample allows the user to view the angular velocity along the X-, Y-, and Z-axis for a 3-axis gyrometer. You can choose one of three scenarios:
- Gyrometer data events
- Poll gyrometer readings
- Porting gyrometer logic across platforms
When you click the Enable button for the Data Events option, the app begins streaming gyrometer readings in real time.
When you click the Enable button for the Polling option, the app will retrieve the sensor readings at a fixed interval.
When you click the Get Sample button, two sets of readings are displayed: raw gyrometer reading, based on the native orientation of the device, and transformed gyrometer reading based on the native orientation of the device your sensor logic was originally developed for.

- If you download the samples ZIP, be sure to unzip the entire archive, not just the folder with the sample you want to build.
- Start Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and select File > Open > Project/Solution.
- Starting in the folder where you unzipped the samples, go to the Samples subfolder, then the subfolder for this specific sample, then the subfolder for your preferred language (C++, C#, or JavaScript). Double-click the Visual Studio 2015 Solution (.sln) file.
- Press Ctrl+Shift+B, or select Build > Build Solution.
The next steps depend on whether you just want to deploy the sample or you want to both deploy and run it.
- Select Build > Deploy Solution.
- To debug the sample and then run it, press F5 or select Debug > Start Debugging. To run the sample without debugging, press Ctrl+F5 or selectDebug > Start Without Debugging.
