That horse never listened to me, so I'll join the club. This code is so simple that it shouldn't require any testing to get right. The people who made the gyro weren't expecting the analog module to draw twice as much current as necessary from the gyro, so if you use the Y-cable approach, you'd be going against what the engineers designed the gyro for. Not a good idea!
