Talking ADXRS300EB Rate Gyro

Hi,

I am now the proud owner of an ADXRS300EB and I want to hook this beauty up to the lego mindstorms sensor port. I already own the following interface connector:

http://www.techno-stuff.com/3wire.htm

so I think it should be pretty easy. I was thinking about connecting it following way:

AGND to Ground
AVCC to +5V
Rate Out to Signal

would this cause any problems? The interface produces about 6mA which should? be enough to drive the sensor. Am I correct? I dont want to damage the sensor since it is a bit expensive...

Any help is much appreciated. I really need to get this going, but I am not too electronic savy

Cheers,

Ram
