# setAngularVelocity(_:)

Sets the angular velocity of each axis of orientation.

## Declaration

```swift
final func setAngularVelocity(_ angularVelocity: Vector3D) async throws
```

## Parameters

- `angularVelocity`: A Vector3D object of the angular velocity to set, in axis/angle notation, corresponsing to radians per second for pitch, yaw, and roll axes.

## Mentioned in

Modify rotation and positioning programmatically

## Discussion

Discussion The angular velocity is expressed in radians per second for pitch, yaw, and roll. This method works only when you disable system tracking. note: DockKitError.notConnected if the accessory disconnects, or other errors if communication with the accessory fails.
