Re: Gyro type for new AD22304 sensor
thanx for the quick reply. I did as you suggested and then ran the gyro test program. It initialized nicely to a 000 decidegree output. I then turned the control board that the gyro is mounted on 90 deg and got fairly nice follow. I returned the board to zero degrees and it returned to 10 or 20 decidegrees. I turned the board to 180 decidegrees and it followed but when I returned to zero degrees it started reading erratically. It did eventually settle out but settled out to about 2000 decidegrees.

I seem to be getting erratic readings and drift. Do you have any suggestions?
