Coach on team FEDS from RHS sponsored by Visteon.
Does anyone have any suggestions on programming for the gyro. Specifically, does it output in the same way that a pot. does (127 = no rotation, 254 = max rotation, 0 max backward rotation,…?
Also if anyone could point me toward some sample code, I would appriciate it (Already checked the white pages here and that has helped.)

Ours seemed to favour 126 for neutral, and rotaatioon in the poositive direction took it higher, just like a pot !

Our center point last year was somewhere around 120. Like the gyro whitepaper says, they do tend to drift.
