Re: Help with Gyro

Thanks Joe,
The new labview 2015 has provided us with an example code for this specific sensor using SPI Vi's. We've put this example program into our robot program and have also tested with just the example program and the results are still the same: an increasing number for the angle.

We need some help on changing this to where we read the actual angle of the gyro's position. Not a constantly increasing number, even when the gyro isn't moving.

Also, in the program it seems to be adding the rate of angular change?
But the thing is when we leave the sensor still it continues to rise in "angle".
Why would it continue to increase even when the gyro is still?

I have attached pictures of the example code we are using.
