Gyro Angle Problems

We are using a gyro to detect turn changes on the Robot for an aiming function. Currently, the gyro is in Digital IO slot 2 and appears to be correctly wired. However, when we ask for the getAngle values and spin the robot in circles, we get values of less than 1 in the positive and negative direction. Turning the robot a full 360 would increase the gyro angle by at most (.1). My understanding is that getAngle should return values far greater than this. How do we get the gyro to return proper angles?
