Re: Best gyro for frc.

Our team took up writing and providing decent drivers for the MPU6050 as one of our offseason projects last year (2014) and had good results. We have very little drift (ie a couple of degrees every couple of hours, though we have yet to record exact results). We have a nice, cheap, solution that has been tested on a BBB and a raspberry pi, and we have half ported working code for the roboRIO (also working on using the MXP breakout board with it):
