Ours did this as well and this was using LabView. Not sure exactly what it is, but we notice that when the wires are bunched up, it happens. We also find this happen when the gyro moves during program start up when it is trying to reset to a new zero position. When we hit run, the gyro dashboard rotation dial sits at the last angle measured, and then after like 3 seconds, it jumps to a zero position. If the gyro is bumped or rotated during this time, it continually moves.
