Re: Wiring Gyros

Yes, they go to the analog inputs. You should have black to the inputs marked G/B and red on the inputs marked 5/R. The white wire goes to the R/W input on one side and the T/W input on the other side.
The T analog input gives you the rate of turn and the R output gives you the relative temperature. I believe the temperature is used to calcuate a correction factor, as accellerometers will vary as the temperature changes. We did not hook up the temperature output ourselves, we only looked at the turn output.

Did anybody else use temp for correction? What's the formula? (I know, its probably in the datasheet)
