Does Versa 3 have gyroscope and orientation sensors?

Hi,

 

Does Versa 3 have gyroscope and orientation sensors? I was pretty sure it was the case but the import of one of these sensors returns null. so I am wondering if something wrong is happening?

 

Thanks

According to the shop page, Versa 3 doesn't have a gyro. I think orientation is derived from gyro (but not sure).

Yes I do think that it has gyro but the import returns null, and I am not using the simulator but my real Versa 3... So I think that it's a bug...

Did someone succeeded to use the gyro on Versa 3?

Sorry to jump in a year late, you have probably all solved this a year ago. Looking at the shop page under Versa3 Specs it lists a 3-axis accelerometer, Built-in GPS + GLONASS, Altimeter but no Gyro. My reading of the Specs is that the Versa3 has no Gyro. You can still work out your orientation from the accelerometer because gravity is 10 units in the down direction. Eg holding the watch flat gives x=0 y=0 z=10 and bringing the watch vertical gives x=0 y=10 z=0
