Gyro I2C help?
 

Hello all,

I'm attempting to work with a gyro from adafruit, specifically the adafru.it/1714 through I2C. My question is this: how exactly would you do this? I know it has something to do with addresses, and processing bytes, but I kinda suck at all that stuff :/ the only address I could find is 0x6B, and I don't know what I'm supposed to do with it. Every other resource I've found seems to say that you need 3 or 4 addresses.

It is a fairly large amount of work to get a gyro like this working when there are only a few days left in the build season, especially if you don't have much experience with I2C, but that's not to say it can't be done.

This is an Arduino driver for the gyro, which will help with the register mappings and addresses.

This is a driver I wrote for another I2C gyro, which I hope will help you with understanding how to port the Arduino code to the roboRIO, even though it's in Java.

Well the only regional we're going to is a week 4, and we're building two bots, and I honestly don't expect to be finished by bag, so I've got some time to figure it out. Thank you for the resources!

EDIT: For the sake of clarity, It's made of two devices, and the gyro documentation is here and I think what you're interested in is on page 27, and the accelerometer documentation is here, and the I2C information is on pages 12 and 18.

I believe this is information necessary, but I have no idea what to do with it D:
