we bought a gyro but the input is only 3 volt. We are not to worried about the input but the fact that the standard voltage is 1.35. How do we read this in Labview?

Thanks

In the gyro open, it measures the average voltage for a period of time (I think I remember 2 seconds). It uses that as the no rotation value. Using a 3 volt gyro should not be a problem for that.

ok. cool. I was worried that it based it on the standard 2.5 volt that the kit encoder uses.
