Re: Gyro drift for a simple EV3

I feel you, we had the same issue last season. We could never get the gyro to stay consistent. There were some times we would see a constant 2 degrees/sec of variance while sitting still, we would unplug the gyro from the brick, replug it in, then it would be just fine. We experimented with moving it away from motors and other sensors and got much better results, however, it is not consistent enough for us to use in competition. I have a strong feeling that this sensor does not play nicely with its other friends. We are going to try again this year with the knowledge we gained from last year and place it away from all other key electrical items on the bot.

Hope this helps!
