Help wiring gyro, then programming... please.

[iv1777]

hey guys.
I'm trying to get our gyro working but having no success...
First thing I tried was to plug it in the PWM ports on the sidecar, to no avail, then plugging to the digital I/O on the sidecar, again to no avail...
Today tried plugging to analog I/O on cRio yet again to no avail...
Well, perhaps we did something wrong...
When plugged into PWM or digital I/O it gave us something like -1.81546 or some number like that, and that number would fluctuate a tiny bit, maybe get up to around -1.9 and down to -1.7, it would be fluctuating while the thing was perfectly still... Then upon moving bot or spinning it, number wouldn't really change except those small fluxes between -1.9 and -1.7...
When we plugged into the Analog I/O it was telling us Gyro : -Infinity
Really? Negative infinity? So... Are we time traveling? Or...
You get the idea
help us figure out exactly where it plugs in and then how to get a simple readout from it in Java, please and thanks so much in advance.

PS : WE DID READ DOCUMENTS! So at least we tried to help our selves before coming on here
