Re: Gyro type for new AD22304 sensor

I have to be honest with you, I'm not too sure the kit gyro is suitable for our purposes. It is only accurate up to +- 80 degrees/sec. Turn your hand 90 degrees...but slow enough that it takes 1 second and you will see what I'm talking about. So for your tests, try this:

1. Turn it very slowly. Try to turn it around the chip axis.
2. Give the gyro 5 minutes to warm up then reset the RC and run your tests. Durning competition we power up before we go on the field to let our sensors warm up.

In practice you can use this gyro to help you drive straight. It's hard to turn your robot slower than 80 degrees/sec.
