David,
Thanks for you recommendation. I will definitely give it a try tonight. Anything that will save CPU cycles in the “while loop” should result in time samples of shorter duration which will permit more samples over time and even greater accuracy.
I again have to comment that the Pololou carrier for the MEMS gyro makes using the gyro very stratightforward. When I first mounted it on the breadboard and started taking voltage readngs while rotatng the breadboard it was kind of exciting to see the angular rate changes refected instantaneously. I’ve seen plenty of drawings of what is inside a MEMS gyro but when I saw how incredibly small the MEMS chip actually is I couldn’t help but go “wow.”
