Gyro Wiring?

[sparrowkc]

You set the sensitivity (usualy called gain) in software. The base gain for the 2010 KOP gyro is .007 volts/degree/second. In labview, one of the terminals on the open-gyro block is gain, and you can just wire a constant of .007 to it.

However, I believe that the latest labview update made the default gain .007 to match this year's gyro, so if someone can confirm that you may not need to worry about any of this.

Until next year when your old robot code stops working because you used a default that gets changed periodically...
