Re: Gyro not sensing angular change

That doesn't seem to be the issue. Actually, the second time I ran the code after I setup the direct voltage graph, the rest of the values worked correctly.

I have no idea why. Previously, and i am absolutely sure of this, the incoming scaled value would not change for any movement but it would recognize drift. We confirmed this by having myself look at the probe from the gyro delta and absoute in LabView while someone actually took the chip itself (not screwed down) and turning it both slowly and fast. There was clearly no change.

So now it suddenly worked and I absolutely didn't do anything that would have fixed it.

Either way, I'll post back if I figure out why it suddenly worked or if it bricks again.
