# Gyroscope Hardware & Setup
PX4 uses a gyroscope for estimating the vehicle attitude (orientation).
You should not need to attach a gyroscope as a stand-alone external device:
- Most flight controllers, such as those in the [Pixhawk Series](../flight_controller/pixhawk_series.md), include a gyroscope as part of the flight controller's [Inertial Motion Unit (IMU)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_measurement_unit).
- Gyroscopes are present as part of an [external INS, ARHS or INS-enhanced GNSS system](../sensor/inertial_navigation_systems.md).
The gyroscope must be calibrated before first use of the vehicle:
