Go to Post Yes, it is fun. Its fun to watch the students expand their thinking and look outside the "normal" and watch their thoughts explode! Its also fun to watch the mentor's minds fry trying to out think the students.;) - Robert Cawthon [more]

Gyro example help

My team wants to use Gyro for steering.

I am trying get the Lab View sample code Gyro angle working in Lab View.

I wired it according to the example. The angle is always zero. I added a numeric indicator and it starts out reading -.02 volts. It starts increasing more positive as soon as I start example. I know it is reading the Gyro because when I hit reset, it goes back to -.02 volts and starts increasing again (without moving board).

When I move board, angle meter still doesn't move and not much change in voltage on numeric indicator.

Note: I have board hanging and moving board with my hand, do not have mounted, just trying get example working first.

Please help, also have questions:

* Do you know what voltage should be read out if board sitting steady
* How much voltage change should be noticed when move board.. resolution?
* Has anyone experience the voltage slowly increasing as soon as turn on
* If not stable, how can it be used
* Spare board.. look for team spare board, they have old one, green board, does anyone have info on this board, how to wire like example of new board?
old kit document on it?


thank you for support

Mark
