Kevin,
I tried working last night with all three gyros and none worked
like the last time. So, first time was bad. Second time was like
a good dream. Third time was bad again.

Gryo angle had drift and bias reported unusual numbers. Voltmeter
on output agreed with gyro angle drift output. I can't remember
the number right now (like 3.0 volts). At one point I measured
a solid 4.98 volts powering one of the gyro's over the PWM
cable.

Same laptop. software, gyros, FRC controller -- the works.

Has there been any reported FRC_Board sensitivity to electical noise
like issues? Should I be extra careful with noise sources? Should
I get away from using A/d channel 01?

I didn't have any caps to place on output to see if that would help
to stabilize the gyro output. Will all three gyros flaky performance,
however, I am leaning away from viewing the gyro's as the problem
but the FRC controller.

Have you tried same software on multiple platforms yourself and/or
seen strange problems like this on FRC controllers?

I hope some of the high school student's end up reading this thread
so that they can see how difficult it can be to make what seems to
be something simple work properly.
