In general, Zeroing the Yaw does not take effect until the board has completed it's Initial Yaw Offset calibration, which is described in the navX-MXP Calibration Process documentation.

Once calibration completes, the yaw can be zeroed at any time.

In addition, a resolution was just release for an issue in the LabVIEW Library in this area. If an attempt was made to zero the yaw immediately after opening it, failures might occur. The updated library that resolves this issue is here: https://github.com/FRC900/navX-MXP-L...s/tag/v2.0.5.0
