Re: Problems with the gyro

erratic behaviour sounds like a bad connection between the gyro and either the power, or the analog signals to the RC.

The signals are analog, and you have to make sure you dont corrupt them, like tie-wrapping them to the power leads for the motors or other wires carrying heavy current.

Also make sure the gyro is getting the correct voltage on its power pins.

also, are you sure you are turning the gyro on the right axis? it only senses rotation on one axis.
