Re: Gyro Rate Bias Issue

The WPILib gyro code actually does compensate for this provided the robot is stationary when the Open is performed, and provided that the gyro temperature remains constant. It measure the baseline DC value during Open. The LV implementation averages over two seconds. This value is then used as the baseline DC voltage. The Reset operation doesn't measure the baseline again, it simply zeroes the accumulator.
