I can move the gyro and get it to change from 0 to -1 and visa versa. Any ideas? I'm guessing my C abilities are getting in the way?
I'm not sure about this, but I believe that the EDU controller shares pins for digital and analog inputs. You need to set the input your gyro is plugged into to be an analog input in user_initialization() which is user_routines.c.

Good Luck!
