I am apart of a rookie robotics team and we are trying to use the gyroscope to get an acceleration reading. We are using block code, and we can’t find the acceleration reading block. Can we do this is bocks, or do we have to do it in Java. Any help would be appreciated.

I’m not an expert on FTC hardware or software, but I believe you’re referring to the built-in IMU. You can definitely access it with blocks. Check out these docs and let me know if I’m off-base or if you have any other questions!

Yes I know that, but can you get an acceleration reading off the gyro scope, not just an orientation reading.
I guess I made an assumption and didn’t read the docs fully. IMU generally refers to a multi-purpose sensor (gyro giving angular measurements, accelerometer giving linear measurements), but I’m not seeing anything in those docs that talks about anything other than angular measurements.
At this point, I’ll have to step back and let others answer.
