Gyro/Acclerometer Wiring

Does anybody know how to wire/hookup a gyro sensor and/or the accelrometer? I have searched around but I could not find any helpful links that explained it in detail.

Check out the KoP sensors page here;

This should give you a somewhat accurate description, http://www.usfirst.org/sites/default...meter-Gyro.pdf

Re: Gyro/Acclerometer Wiring

If you open the Gyro/Accelerometer example in LabView, there is an extremely comprehensive wiring diagram.

I'll have to take a look at this... I haven't programmed with labview much in the past but it is the language our team is going with this year!

Re: Gyro/Acclerometer Wiring

Is there a wiring diagram of the gryo/accelerometer to the digital sidecar? Because the data sheets was not very helpful...

Re: Gyro/Acclerometer Wiring

Hey guys I'm a programmer from team 97, Bionic Beef.

I have the wiring set up for the gyro and it gives feedback, however as I rotate it, I know it's not accurate. Rotating it 90 degrees only shows a ~45 degree change in what it reads and I tried adjusting the Volts/degree settings but no luck with that.

Also, with the accelerometer example provided with LabVIEW, after wiring it correctly (and I tried both interfaces), I get no feedback at all.

Apologies if this is the wrong thread to post this in :x

Take a look at the FRC LabVIEW examples. You can find the appropriate project for the gyro / accelerometer and it even has a detailed picture of the wiring .

The wiring diagrams indicate what pins correspond to what. If you actually take a look at the DS, you'll notice that the 3 pins are labeled signal, 5V, and GND - which correspond to rate, PWR, and GND (or whatever the labels are) on the gyro and accelerometer.

CRL, have you made sure your DB37 is properly setup as per FIRST's directions? If that's not the problem, then you may want to go through your code and ensure data is being parsed properly (I know Java has had issues with this, I don't know about LabVIEW).
