Is anyone else having problems with the updated code?
I heavily modified the ADC code and was having issues with the data in the gyro bias buffer being corrupted. In the process of trying to figure that out, I looked at the bias calculation heavily and did not find any logic errors in it.

I never did solve my problem, though, so there might be a problem lurking in that code.
