How to Properly Initialize Gyro on PROS V5 (URGENT)

Programming Support PROS Support
#1

Hello, I do not know if i am properly initializing the gyro on pros because our values when outputting are counting up and not at a stable value when standing still. However, when i initialize the gyro on Vex Coding Studio the gyro does not count up and it stays at a stable value when not moving. I followed the code on PROS API. Any help would be appreciated.

Why do people do this?

We have a competition coming up and the Gyro is crucial to our autonomous routine. Any help would be appreciated since the problem is not yet resolved.

here is code i have so far

main.h

extern pros::ADIGyro Gyrox;

Init.cpp

void initialize() {

  pros::ADIGyro Gyrox( 3, 1);
  pros::delay(2000);

}

operator.cpp

extern pros::ADIGyro Gyrox;

void opcontrol() {

while (true) {

	std::cout << "value: " << Gyrox.get_value();

	pros::delay(20);
}

}

Move your initialization of Gyrox outside of initialize and you’ll be fine. What you’re doing right now is declaring a local-scope version of Gyrox in initialize and never declaring nor initializing the global scoped version.

from this post you don’t need to wait for the gyro to calibrate. The wait is built in.

You can’t delay outside of a function or method.
