In gyroscopes, degrees of freedom refer to the restraints imposed upon the gyroscope wheel spin axis. Any rotation about the input axis will result in a precession of the gyroscope wheel. Thus, a voltage from the gyroscope pickoff will cause the wheel-gimbal stabilizing motor to drive and return the gyroscope wheel to its zero precession angle. 1, record 1, English, - zero%20precession%20angle
