Single axis gyroscope ADXRS610 300 degrees per second, Sparkfun breakout by BARRAGAN http://barraganstudio.com
Reads values from a gyroscope with Z connected to analog inputs 0 The values read re printed to the serial monitor

    int z;

    void setup()
    {
      Serial.begin(9600);           // sets the serial port to 9600
    }

    void loop()
    {
      z = analogRead(0);       // read analog input pin 0
      Serial.print("rotation rate in z: ");
      Serial.println(z, DEC);  // print the rotation rate in the Z axis
      delay(100);              // wait 100ms for next reading
    }
