It is also possible that you received one of the units that had the labels for Rate and Temp swapped, but I believe those came with notes clarifying the mistake.

The signal was pretty constant with a bit of noise, around 10 mV. It peaked at ~0 and ~20mV.
This has been tested with 2 of the 2009 kit gyros. Both produced similar results. We borrowed another local team's unit to test with, so if a bad batch (reversed R/T labeling) was sent to our regional kickoff, that could be the issue.
As Eric stated above, we tested this with the sample gyro code in LabView and using C++. The accumulator for the gyro angle was going through the roof, which matches up with the relatively low signal. I am almost certain this is not a code issue.
Focus on solving the problem, not on being deliberately creative. If you effectively solve the problem, creativity is naturally leveraged as part of finding a great solution. - Jim Zondag [more]
