Re: KOP Gyro

Looking through the Basic Stamp manual, it seems to me the POT command is the one to use to take analog readings. It's intended to measure potentiometers with resistences from 5 Kohms to 50 Kohms.

I'm no electrical engineer, so I can't tell you if this will work with the gyro (whose datasheet says something about a 1 Kohm impedence). Is there an EE or someone else around who can enlighten us?
