Gyroscope

Live gyroscope readings for device rotation, with combined and per-axis graphs.

Overview tab with live rotation rate values

Overview

The gyroscope measures rotational velocity around the device axes. Lirum shows live values and a rolling history for each axis.

Tabs

• Overview
• Graphs (combined)
• Graphs (per axis)

Toolbar Controls

All motion-sensor tools share the same toolbar controls:

• Play / Pause: start or pause sensor updates.
• Clear: clear history buffers used by the graphs.
• Refresh rate: cycle between Faster, Fast, and Slow sampling rates.

Overview Tab

The Overview tab shows a live visualization plus current axis values:

• rotX (X axis)
• rotY (Y axis)
• rotZ (Z axis)

Values are shown in radians per second (rad/s).

Graphs Combined Tab

Graphs (combined): X/Y/Z plotted together

This tab overlays X/Y/Z history on a single graph with a legend.

Graphs Per Axis Tab

Graphs (per axis): one panel per axis

This tab shows three separate panels (X, Y, Z) with a dedicated graph per axis.

What You Can See

• Rotation rate along the X/Y/Z axes (commonly in degrees/second or radians/second)
• Optional graph/history view (if available)
• Refresh rate / sampling interval (if configurable)

Notes

• Axes orientation depends on device orientation (portrait/landscape).
• Readings will drift over time; this is normal for gyroscopes.

Notes And Limitations

• On Mac Catalyst, motion sensors may be unavailable.
• Gyroscope readings can drift and are affected by device movement and vibration.
