Try that. I'm not sure it will work though, sorry. We haven't tested the gyro recently.
we bought a different gyro and have set the gain. It reads fairly accurate now but you watch the value and it counts down by almost 1 degree per second. we've also tried bigger and small Volts per degree per second (V/D/S). Also for some odd reason, no matter what we set the V/D/S it still gives us a pretty decent reading. Even 12 V/D/S on a 3 volt gyro
