Multiple Gyros

Is there a way around this? Does this have anything to do with the FPGA?

The FPGA only has 2 accumulator channels.
In order to get an average heading from a gyro, you need to continuously integrate your readings, and that is what the FPGA accumulator is doing.

You could do your integration in your main loop, but there is no guarantee of having a steady integration time, your dt.

Though, i have to ask, what are you going to do with more then 2 gyros?
