Re: How to get robot to drive straigth using shaft encoders

Hello
We did get the 300dps from spark fun to use for 90 degree turns. I did notice that when we use the gyro functions in easyC, instead of getting readings of 1/10th of a degree with the gyro that came in the kit of parts (90 degrees = 900) we got only steps of 1 degree (90 degrees = 90). Why is that so?
