Keeping a certain heading using a gyro

[DanDon]

Hi all,

OK, I've been looking at Kevin's gyro code, and have been trying to work out an algorithm to maintain a certain heading using the gyro supplied in the kit.

My thoughts are leaning towards something like this:

Reset_Gyro_Angle();
if(Get_Gyro_Angle > 10){//1 degree
   turn left
}
else if(Get_Gyro_Angle < -10){//-1 degree
   turn right
}
else
   stop

Am I correct about the gyro values, where a positive value would be a turn to the right and a negative value would be a turn to the left?

And would this code (without optimizations) allow self adjustment to a certain heading (despite oscillations)?

Thanks,
