Gyro Rate Constant

[PhilBot]

Although the Labview VI for Gyro setup defaults to 0.0125, it looks to me like the sensitivity for the KOP gyro is actually 0.0072 mv/d/s

Anyone verify this for me?

0.007 is what we use.

Edit: The sensor manual currently on the KOP Control System page links to the 2012 documentation.

0.007 is what we use. It is documented in the sensor manual. They did not update the front cover on it so it still says 2012.

According the KP Checklist, the gyro is an ADXRS652BBGZ-RL, rather then an ADW22307 as was used in previous years (and what is described in that document).

A quick check of the datasheet makes it look like the sensitivity is configurable. It would be either 0.007 or 0.006.

0.0072 mv/d/s

I think you mean V/d/s

I can confirm that the default of 1.25 does not work and something like 0.0072 does work for the 2014 KOP Gyro
