One caution with this sensor is it is sensitive to magnetic fields and the current Java and C++ code does not do magnetic disturbance rejection... so you may want to consider using the gyro results rather than the fused yaw result.

Thanks Peter, that is the info I needed to hear. The advise about the magnetic disturbance rejection is also nice to have, and I have seen that mentioned in another thread as well. (In fact, now that I searched for it, you were the one who mentioned it in the other thread. )

So, would mounting the RoboRIO as far as possible, or remoting the adis16448 via a ribbon cable) from motors help with this issue?
