You need TWO pwms, one for the yaw rate signal, the other for temperature correction signal. The temperature correction is handy because the yaw rate gyro outputs a voltage (0-5volts) proportional to the rate of twist. At 0 deg/sec the output is nominally 2.5 volts. Temperature makes the 0 point drift up or down. So in competition it is possible that the gyro temperature may change and thus throw off the reading.
Now what I was talking about for jumpering is the Eval board you can order directly from Analog Devices, which is what the supplied link is describing. The drawing shows pin 1 and pin 20. The rest of the pins are numbered counter clockwise (looking from the top of the board, not the pin side). The EB has pin 1 printed on the board.
Uh does this help or make it even more confusing?

So do I have to wire all six pinouts for the one that FIRST provided to work? I only wired the "Twist" pinouts. And it wasn't working. Maybe I should wire up the other pinouts
