Re: 2010 Accelerometer Documentation?

For instance:

In the schematic, the Temperature and Voltage outputs are on opposite sides.

On the gyro, there are three Temperature and three Voltage outputs, and they lie next to each other in two rows.

Can someone help us? Is the documentation / gyroscope incorrect? Or are we just missing something?

And as a side note, if you do know, how would we wire the gyroscope using a PWM?

Regards, Team 339 Kilroy (FRC)
The pin structure is as follows:
Code:
Rate           Temperature
5 Volts        5 Volts
Ground        Ground
Wire your PWM cable such that the white signal line goes to either rate or temperature, the red power line goes to 5 Volts, and the black line goes to ground.

The signals are closest to the signal names: The ground is closest to the edge of the board.

I'll try to update the doc.
