The gyro chip gives a rate (radians(degrees) per second)in the form an analog signal. At rest the output is 2.5VDC, 2.5 towards 5VDC when rotating one direction and 2.5 towards 0VDC the other. The faster the rotation the higher the rate. The robot controller has AtoD convertors that provide your PBase code with approx. 127 at rest and 128-254 and 128-0 when rotating. You can also remove the "per second" from the rate and accumulate angle.

Hope that helps
Tim Gates
