Re: BEI GyroChip Problems
its possible you have it connected wrong. FIRST use to give out similar gyros in the kit of parts several years ago, and as I recall there were two different versions, with different pinouts.

Best way to debug it is to hook a meter to the gyro output and see what its doing when you move it. It should sit at midrange (2.5V) when the gyro is steady, and move up or down as the gyro is moved left and right.

If it wont do this, your code has no hope. Its possible you have the power, gnd and output pins wired the wrong way.
