Re: Gyro 10 DOF IMU

I scanned the Pololu specs sheets for their breakout boards for both the L3GD20 and L3GD20H, and I believe the RoboBees code referenced by Bkp9p4 should interface correctly (with either) over the I2C bus. You would just want to disable the Accelerometer and Magnetometer devices using the settings available in the IMU OPEN vi. I have not tested this so let us know how it works if you try it. Be advised the code works on the On-Board I2C
bus only, until I resolve the MXP issue.

Yes, the WPI I2C library changed this year, moving to the 7-bit address spec convention (among other things). This likely removes a barrier to success for teams attempting this interface.
