The y
read-only property of the Gyroscope
interface returns a double precision integer containing the angular velocity of the device along the its y axis.
If a feature policy blocks use of a feature it is because your code is inconsistent with the policies set on your server. This is not something that would ever be shown to a user. See Feature-Policy
for implementation instructions.
Syntax
var y = gyroscope.y
Value
A Number
.
Example
The gyroscope is typically read in the Sensor.onreading
event callback. In the example below this occurs sixty times a second.
let gyroscope = new Gyroscope({frequency: 60}); gyroscope.addEventListener('reading', e => { console.log("Angular velocety along the X-axis " + gyroscope.x); console.log("Angular velocety along the Y-axis " + gyroscope.y); console.log("Angular velocety along the Z-axis " + gyroscope.z); }); gyroscope.start();
