Re: Need help with gyros

Autodrive routine. I want it to go forward while keeping true. Positive drift of the gyro will generally cause the bot to slowly curve to the right. I was also playing with the idea of a one button "auto true", which would realign the bot to the scoring wall automatically.

I suppose I could use a floor function and round things off. Just bothers me that someone would build a gyro that doesn't hold true. I suppose I could build my own and measure the torque created when I turn it, but that kind of project is more for between competitions.
