The Kit gyro is an analog device.

Use the pins labels rate, not temp.

Connect via PWM cable to the Analog Breakout.

Read in code using the special Gyro functions.

Use a standard PWM cable.
Plug one end into the gyro pins labeled "rate" with the ground wire on the pin by the word "rate."

The other end of the PWM cable plugs into one of the Analog Breakout ports with the ground pin to the back.

The LabVIEW "Gyro" example includes a diagram showing how to wire a generic analog gyro sensor.
