Doubts about Gyro Temp

[capenga]

Hi,

I'm a little concerned about my gyro sensor... I've never noticed that it works with it's pic in a ultra-super-high temperature... :ahh:

Does your gyro works in high temperature too? Is it normal?? Or there's an evil short-circuit that i can't see??

thanks,

How are you determining that your gyro is getting hot?
If you're using the temperature output, make sure you are converting the output correctly. Room temperature should be ~2.5V, which corresponds to 298 degrees K, or 25 degrees C. A difference of 8.4mV will equal +/- 1 degree K (or C).
