View Full Version : 5VDC from Gyro - 64 or 75 deg/s?

I've seen spec sheets that specify the maximum signal from the gyro (5VDC, or 254 in PBASIC) correlates with either 64 deg/s and 75 deg/s...which is it?

Thanks.

Last year's gyro chip was rated at 64deg/sec, but this year's is rated at 75deg/sec.

It's rated at 75 deg/sec, but the range of voltage is 0.25 V off each rail (1/4 to 4-3/4 V). It's 27 mV / deg/sec, but remember the resolution on the RC is 20 mV at best, about 0.75 deg/sec / count.
