Re: Large amounts of gyro drift

We had similar drift issues and the most important things to do are:

1) ensuring a stable, secure, level mounting of the gyro
2) making certain that the gyro is perfectly still when it's being calibrated (as was already mentioned).

We were drifting around 1-3 degrees per second before mounting the gyro properly. Afterward, we had a drift of maybe 5 degrees after driving for a couple of minutes.
