Gyro Doesnt Stop!!!!

[tilky]

just create a constant and leave it as the default. I don't know why but if we didn't do this each time we reset it, it doesn't work at all (When you turn it on it would just keep going up to 5000 degrees without even driving in circles). When we set the gain, it worked for what we needed

When we turn the robot on, gyro doesnt go directly to 5000 degrees. Once we move the robot, angle of the gyro starts changing and doesnt stop even if the robot is stationary. We are deploying the Gyro Example Code in Labview, we tried to wire a constant to set gain as you said whereas it didnt work for us.
What might be the problem??

If you have the sensor board wired properly and the Gyro Example does not work, you might just have a bad sensor.

How do you have it wired? How many wires are connected, and where does each of them go at each end?

We have wired it according to the pdf above.

That doesn't answer my question at all. Please look at your wiring and describe for me where the wires are connected on the sensor board, and where each of those wires goes.
