Getting the CIQ version of the current device

Hello all.

I am developing an application that provides optional use of the gyroscope. At some point, I want to add a conditional statement of the form:

if(Device's CIQ version >= 3.3.0 && There's a gyro){
gyro values = whatever;
}else{
gyro values = 0;
}

I would really appreciate if someone could point me out how to properly do this type of things, since I would like my app to be compatible with older devices while giving better capabilities in new ones.

Thank you in advance

Use System.getDeviceSettings().monkeyVersion to get the CIQ version that's running

I just use "has" for stuff like this and don't check the CIQ version.

"has" is is pretty simple. Here's an example:

if(Toybox.Sensor.SensorData has :gyroscopeData) {
	System.println("has gyro");
} else {
	System.println("no gyro");
}  …

Thank you very much for the answer! Is there any documentation about how to use has with a gyro that way?

I've only tried this is the sim for the 965 and fenix3
