Wiring:

You'll need to power the breakout, you can power it from 3V-5VDC, connect ground to GND and VCC to our power

supply (3-5V)

The L3GD20 breakout board supports both I2C and SPI communication. I2C requires the fewest connections, so we

will start with that:

Wiring for I2C:

I2C requires only 2 pins (in addition to VCC and ground).
