Gyro Angle Problems

[Gmercer]

Noticed something about the setup, wondering if anyone can explain it...

I plugged the gyro into the analog breakout and set everything up correctly, until i just realized the analog has never had a power cord to it(i feel very stupid). But how was the gyro returning values to us when the analog was never powered to begin with?

I would imagine it was just integrating noise. It wasn't returning good values, was it?

Edit: The analog breakout is just a few connectors and a 5V supply. All the actual measuring is done by the cRIO module, which is powered by the cRIO backbone.
