How do I install a Gyro?

[maj1k]

Hey guys,

I have a program here that uses a gyro.  How do I go about putting that on my robot.  It is supposed to mount on my camera gimble.  Plz help.

The gyro should be mounted parallel to the plane to which you want to measure angles.  You can use anything to mount it; some tape or glue would work fine.  I would recommend using the Gyro Example to experiment with how the gyro measures angles before you mount it permanently.  You don't have to worry about getting it lined up with a certain point or anything, because you can reset (calibrate) the gyro to 0 position by running the Gyro Reset VI.
