Re: 2010 Accelerometer Documentation?

A question, not about the accelerometer but rather about the gyroscope:

We looked at the pin configuration on the documentation that FIRST sent us, and while the picture of the gyroscope looks exactly like the gyroscope we received, the pin configuration doesn't match the structure of the gyroscope at all.

For instance:

In the schematic, the Temperature and Voltage outputs are on opposite sides.

On the gyro, there are three Temperature and three Voltage outputs, and they lie next to each other in two rows.

Can someone help us? Is the documentation / gyroscope incorrect? Or are we just missing something?

And as a side note, if you do know, how would we wire the gyroscope using a PWM?

Regards, Team 339 Kilroy (FRC)
