Sorry, it was not. Our auto started acting up during testing and we decided to check the gyro. The circuit was extremely hot, and upon investigating, the male PWM pins had melted up to the header. I checked the analog input with a multimeter to discover that what should have been 5v with a 2.5v signal pin was getting 12v with a 2.5v signal pin. We got a new gyro from spare parts, switched the pin in the code, and have not run into the problem again.
It was most likely some kind of short, but we have a cover on the gyro as well as a mounting plate, and Cable Magics on all the 3-pin roboRIO ports.
