Re: Gyro Repeatability, Expected Drift ?

Thanks everyone.

Dr Brooks:
- would greatly appreciate your code spinnets.
- what gyro chip is your team using ?
- given you calculate the bias in the pits and hard code it, am I correct that the bias is individual chip by chip specific and is temperature specific but once in a stable temperature, it can be calced and hardcoded for the duration of the regional ?

Kevin, thanks for the clear coverage on the deadband. I can see why you do it. We are looking closely at the Sparkfun unit. We are just waiting for clarification as to whether using it is as simple as connecting the 5v, grd and rate to AI 1. Unfortunately due to our location, it will cost us over $60 in shipping alone
