Assuming you want to use it just for yaw, it should be better then the ADW22307 gyro, however the specs are worse then the ADXRS453 single axis gyro discussed in this thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=130538

In either case (ITG-3200 or ADXRS453), you'd have to write your own driver and integration.

Like Scott said, fusion algorithms are not easy, so taking advantage of the 6 axes is probably not something a normal team would get working this year, which would be the advantage of the 6 axis board.
