Re: Gyro instead of GTS

I suggest you just get the "ADXRS150EB" from your favorite electronics vendor online (Mouser, DigiKey, Jameco...). You'll just need to do a little bit of wiring and get a project enclosure from radio shack. It should function exaclty the same.

We tried the 80 d/s but also found it to be far too sensitive for use in the competition environment. We're currently using the 150d/s chip with great success. Amazingly, it's still sensitive enough to detect fine movements.
