Re: Piezeo gyroscope

That style is designed for maintaining a heading in an rc vehicle, like a helicopter, by modifying the input PWM according to the gyro and a P-type gain to produce an output PWM signal that counters vehicle drift. It's used basically to counter known & fixed vehicle bias, because the gain is set manually and cannot be adjusted on the fly.

It's not directly usable on an FRC-rules robot, because it modifies the motor control signal.
