I didn't solder up the temperature pins and I cannot find anything that would make it seem neccessary to do so. The thing that bugs me is that I know it isn't my codebecause I have a gyro from way back and it works on the same principle and it is fine.

Has any one found these problems before? and if so was there anything that you did that made the gyro return a valid voltage?

If I remember correctly, the pins you want to solder to are the pins labeled "T"... the T stands for twist, though I previously assumed it to mean temperature. Kind of an unfortunate design choice. Are you sure you're connected to the right pins?
