Re: Gyro inconsistencies...

If you get two gyros with the same specs, what if you mounted one with its axis of rotation opposite the other (i.e. upside down)? That way, while one was rotating CCW around its axis, the other would be rotating CW. You could probably implement some software error elimination by averaging the two ouputs or only taking the reading from the one that is currently rotating in the 'correct' direction.
