Re: buying new gyro

Without the robot moving or gyro moving, wiggle the wires along their length. It sounds like you may have a loose connection. Another test is to put the robot on blocks and run the motors. Is noise because of wire routing causing bad readings?

You may still decide to purchase a new gyro, but at least then, you'll know if it is just a cable or cable routing.
