KOP Gyro Lag

Perhaps it's output driver is weak and having a tough time driving the capacitance of the cabling? Ideally, the cable should be as short as possible.

Sure. I'll send you our version that uses your code. We also have a version that uses IFI's base code. Both exhibited the gyro lag problem.

The topic that I linked to above tells me it isn't an ADC problem, since the person who posted that topic tested the same analog input with a POT and there was no lag at all.
