Gyro's angle value going up

Gus,

If you are looking for a replacement for the old KOP gyro, either the EVAL-ADXRS642Z or the EVAL-ADXRS652Z should work. Both are 0-5v analog gyros and should be a fairly easy replacement for what you are used to. In the past, I've also used an Arduino to do the integration of the gyro rate signal for both analog and SPI gyros - so that is a valid option as well.

Five thousand dollars for a minimum order of 100? Or is there someone who has them for retail? Actually, even if there is, I'd rather go with the integrated all-axes solution with built-in integration and Kalman filtering at $130 than a single axis analog gyro at $50.

Gus,

The EVAL parts can be ordered singularly at $50 or $70 depending on the model. Look near the bottom of the web page.
