👉 Gyrocompass is a device used to measure the direction of rotation of an object or instrument relative to a reference axis. It is typically connected to a moving target, such as a ship or airplane, and uses gyroscopes to measure the angle between the position of the target and the reference axis. The gyroscope measures the angular velocity of the target with respect to the reference axis and converts it into an electrical signal that can be transmitted to a computer or other device for further processing.
