The gyro has a three pin connection (ground, power, signal), so how would it connect to the I2C, which has four connections? Connecting it to a digital I/O port also seems odd because you don't want a reading of either 1 or 0 for a heading. Team 3176 is still trying to get their gyro up and working. We have it connected to the analog breakout, but we're having problems getting a reading, so I'm not sure if that is due to a bad connection, or just a programming problem.
