Gyro reset() troubles

[BradAMiller]

As Joe pointed out, the reset() method only zeros the accumulator as you can see in this code from the Gyro class:

    public void reset() {
        if (m_analog != null) {
            m_analog.resetAccumulator();
        }
    }

I'm not sure why it isn't resetting immediately unless, as was suggested, there is some delay in the hardware. I'd also suggest to try adding a delay after doing the reset to see if it makes a difference.

Let us know if that helps.

As I stated in my last post, we had a command executing after the reset method was being called. The command was printing out the current gyro angle. If the gyro didn't zero after the reset call, it never was zeroed.

I don't think this is time related.

And I've never had to wait for the reset method to zero the gyro in the past. We've used this method extensively in the past and have never had a problem with it previously.
