Re: Gyro Sensor

The "gyro" is actually a yaw rate sensor. Its output is a voltage that tells how rapidly it is being spun, in degrees per second. There is a characteristic voltage that represents zero spin, and a certain number of millivolts above (or below) that voltage for each degree per second it is turning.
