Re: Gyro angle will not work with robot code

We have seen the constantly increasing gyro behavior which seems to be due to bad connections. Check that the connection to the analog board and the gyro itself are solid and don't have any wire "hairs" shorting. Also, as mentioned, check the datasheet for the gain. Our gyro (I think this year or last year KOP) has a gain of 0.007 instead of the 0.0125 of the examples.
