Gyro Warning

[de_]

Dumb question. Kevin Watsons code appears to not require the "R" (Relative Temperature) connection to the RC at all. Am I reading this correctly ?

Correct, you don't need it.

Kevin, call me curious george here, but is the reason you don't need it because you find the mean value before starting to use the gyro? Is this what changes with temperature?

Thanks,

p.s. Unfortunately no camera this year, so for the first time in two years the code doesn't compile as camera.hex. Thanks for sorting through the camera specs and writing a driver those couple years ago, it was a beast!

Correct. The "R" Relative Temperature is most often not used (do any teams actually use it?). Temperature does affect the rate output on the gyro but not significantly in the context of a FIRST match (IMHO). You could write code to correct for temperature effects (has anyone?), but I dont think it is worth the time during build season.
