Re: Gyro Issues

I suggest that you measure the output voltage of the gyro. We had several of the previous generation of gyro give "at rest" voltages that were nowhere near the expected value of 2.5V. (As I recall, it was much closer to 5.0V). If the output is not exactly 2.5V, but reasonably close, you should be able to make adjustments in software.
