Go to Post FIRST isn't about building robots. I know. But I also know that Inspiration comes in a lot of flavors and I, for one, believe it is a lot easier to inspire my kids when we set "playing after lunch on Saturday" as a worthy team goal. - Joe Johnson [more]

Exclamation My gyro is acting very strangely

I've been testing my gyro with a printf() statement, twisting it in my hand. I'm using a gyro function from the Killer Bees that is supposed to convert the degrees per second into degrees. It seems to be working well with one exception: the number (of degrees) constantly goes up so that it will begin at 0 and within 30 seconds without turning the gyro it will read 170. This doesn't seem to fit the problems I've heard about concerning the temperature calibration (though I could be wrong about that). Does anyone have an idea about what might be wrong and/or how to fix it?
