ADXRS450 Gyro not detected

[bigdavisc]

Hey everyone, rookie here,

We just received our first FIRST Choice order and in it came our ADXRS450 Gyroscope. I thought it would be easy, plug-and-play into the SPI port right? No... Whenever I try to initialize the gyro, DS throws out this error, however, the actual PCB (Gyro Sensor) is lighting up so I know its at least receiving power:

"ERROR 1 could not find ADXRS450 gyro on SPI port 0"

Here is how I'm declaring it:

ADXRS450_Gyro gyro = new ADXRS450_Gyro();

Based on my searching, it should be working, so I am worried it is hardware related. Any ideas on testing the sensor or the SPI port to figure it out?

Thanks,

DC
