Re: Gyro spinning while stationary
Probe the output of the gyro using a multimeter. What does it say? It should be somewhere between 2 and 4 volts. If it is 0 or 5 then that is your problem.
Did you insert a wire backwards? That could cause problems.
Is the gyro powered? That could also cause problems.
Is the analog board powered? see above
Make sure you only reset it when you are not moving, and don't move it when booting up. If you might have been moving it while it was on, reboot it and try again without moving it. I have no idea when it actually sets the centerpoint, as that is protected code that is not accessible to teams (it runs on the FPGA), but I would assume it does this on Reset and startup. When it does get the centerpoint, it will think anything + or - of that centerpoint is movement, so if it was moving when it got the centerpoint it will now think that stationary is movement.
