Re: how to set up the gyro?
bfighter, we use LabView. When we open it there is an examples pane on the right side of the open screen. We can click on the example for the gyro. If you don't have LabView sorry, but that's how our team wired it up.

Re: how to set up the gyro?
Gyro has been hooked up via PWM to the cRIO. How do I get it to talk with the java on NetBeans?

PWM connections are outputs from the Digital Sidecar. You need to connect the gyro to input 1 or 2 on the Analog Breakout in order for the cRIO to be able to read it.

Re: how to set up the gyro?
our gyro is connected to the analog breakout on the cRIO but we still are not getting anything.
