Hey Adam,

I noticed that the pin out on these gyros are different from the KOP sensor board. How would you interface these with the control system we have with FIRST. I know you have to set up a SPI connection with SCLK, CS, MOSI, MISO, I just have no background with this.

EDIT: Found it. For anyone who wishes to know how to wire the ADXRS453. It is just like the accelerometer. You will take the SCLK, CS, MOSI, MISO to the DIO pins 1-4, doesn't matter really what order, and can power it from the 5V or Ground located below the DIO pin 1 location. Thanks all and hope this helps someone else out.
