Using a Gyro on any port (How to code that)?

thisSample = gyroAnalog.getValue
thisTimeStamp = Timer.getTimestamp
thisAmountTurned = ((thisSample + lastSample)/2) * (thisTimestamp - lastTimestamp) * (Kgyro)
currentHeading += thisAmountTurned
lastSample = thisSample
lastTimeStamp = thisTimeStamp
lather, rinse, repeat

I doubt you will get performance anywhere near the FPGA, but it is pretty quick to try.

If you're running anything else on your robot, it might be worthwhile to run this on a separate thread. I'm not sure how nice Thread.Sleep() is on the robot, though.
