I don't know the answer to your specific question, but there is more
information about the rotation sensor in the tinyvm-discussion archives, which
you can find from lejos.sourceforge.net by clicking on mailing lists.
The rotation sensor has trouble keeping up with a rapid rotation rate as when
driven by a motor, so some trickery is required to use it.
good luck

| I installed leJOS, got it up and running, then read on the sourceforge site a support question about the rotation sensor, so I decided to test it out. I wrote a first cut at it and it didn't work, just like the support question suggested: import (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
