Just a note on that part. There are two models, the ADXRS150 and the ADXRS300. The number corresponds to the max degrees per second. There is an evaluation board available at Future and Arrow that includes all the caps in the sample application in the datasheets. The part number has an -EB appended to it. Those devices are about the size of a pencil eraser and are a ball-grid array so you can't solder them by hand. The EB parts look like a basic stamp and can be pushed into a regular 20 pin IC socket.
