Continuous gyro value

[MLTurtle]

Hello! Is there an easy way make the value from the gyro sensor continuous so that when it gets up to 360 degrees it will just keep going instead of resetting back to 0? My thought is to make something that finds the change in gyro angle and add that onto a gyro value variable. I just wanted to know if there was some easier method of doing this.

I posted about a way to do that here.

Gyro Acting Weird (V5)

creating your own reset function and absolute value for the gyro is not that hard. I posted some code many years ago for ROBOTC that did something similar, you can see that code here. We can build on this and write something similar for VCS, not going to worry about trying to improve the gyro’s performance in this code (we already did that to some extent in the V5) but we can implement the absolute angle functionality that code provided. The code works by periodically sampling the value o…

Thank you so much! This is basically what I was figuring was necessary.
