I would google the gyro manufacturer/part number and try to find the datasheet for it. You would need to find the rateout, ground and positive in pins. Then you would have to make sure that your board can provide the amount of power needed. You also need to have an analog-to-digital converter. This converts the voltage returned from the gyro to a number (number size depends on ADC, an 8bit ADC is sufficient.) Then you just read it as you would anything else.
well I was looking at somethings on some website that sold gyros and some of them sent out a serial signal in digital form. I know how to hook it up, asked how to make the BS read it.

I don't know the manufacturer or part # or anything of the sort.
