Hey Ken, can a REAL engineer point me in a direction to learn how to use the yaw rate sensor? I'm just a dumb physicist. I'm curious to its use and have seen it for a number of years now and always just piled it up in the dunno pile. Cuz, after all this talk, I have to give up on my casters..... darn it, had some really nice ones ordered too! hmm, perhaps for the goal.
