If the gyro is constantly returning the exact same high angular velocity, then the problem is your wiring. Take a multimeter and check the voltage between one of the red/black wires and the signal wire. It should be about 2.5 volts in correct operation. To confirm if this is the case, set up your gyro class so it uses an incorrect PWM input that nothing is plugged into, and see if the behavior changes.

Also, double check that your using both the correct SLOT and correct channel. If you only specify the channel, it might be attempting to read the gyro off of the incorrect cRio slot.

If the gyro is constantly returning a varying low angular velocity (1 degree every 5 seconds as posted above is about right), then everything is fine and that is expected.
