Re: Best gyro for frc.

I am very new with working with SPI and had a question. How does the startup sequence work for the ADXRS543. We are currently using Labview as our programming language, but i would assume it is the same for all languages. I have been looking at the register and memory values in the datasheet and was trying to get a bead on how to setup the gyro at open and draw the correct values during operation. I have looked over the SPI example in Labview, and have gained a lot of insight on how SPI functions even though the accelerometer has different registry and memory call values.

I would assume I need to set the rate and data format that I read from the gyro.

Thanks for any help you can give.
