ahendrix, thanks for the reply. I misunderstood the description of this gyro. I thought that it could be wired as a digital or analog ( three or four ) wire setup. I'll look for an analog gyro. Thanks again for your time.

Hi,

I've built my own Turtlebot using the iRobot create and xBox Kinect. I have the latest ROS installed and running. I picked up a Parallax Gyroscope Module 3-Axis L3G4200D: (www.parallax.com/product/27911) from my local RadioShack and wanted to know if it will work with the ROS software. I found this post: Is an IMU required to run Turtlebot stack?: (//answers.ros.org/question/9749/is-an-imu-required-to-run-turtlebot-stack/?answer=14244#post-id-14244) and was wondering if it would connect to the create the same way.

I've been building this to learn programming/robotics and pretty good at following directions. But don't have the knowledge to start from scratch yet. I want to think everyone that shares their projects and code. It really helps us newcomers getting started.

1/9/14 UPDATE: Would this be the correct connections for this gyro if ROS supports it? (www.digikey.com/schemeit/embed/#lz6)
