BEI Gyrochip AQRS - just counting up?

I have found and old BEI Systron Donner Gyro chip angular rate sensor. From way back I should add. Figured it's a 3 pin Gyro - hook it up to analog input on the cRIO and start playing with a gyro. Apparently not. It's acting like a counter - it just counts up, no matter how I move it it just counts up at what appears a steady rate.

I have imported the Gyro class, and I'm reading the angle with getAngle() - I'm just printing the value out to see if I could watch the value change as I moved the Gyro around.

Either its toast and theres a reason it was buried in my closet for the last 12 years or theres a few steps I'm missing. I have the Gyro/temp/accelerometer chip coming in the mail and it should be here tomorrow so it's not the end of the world. It would have been nice to have an extra Gyro though.

The ultimate teaching/demo bot project continues.
