Re: Gyro type for new AD22304 sensor
Just insert the gyro type code for the ADXRS80. Or 125...either way it will work for you.

For your second question, electronic gyros just output a voltage that is proportional to the RATE the chip is turning. Software can use this information to get degrees/second which can be integrated to give you relative heading. Relative meaning it can tell you what direction you are pointing relative to when your gyro code was intialized. The WPILIB that easyC uses takes care of this for you with the easy to use functions.

Good luck!
