Hi,

We're using the iRobot Create for a project with a laptop mounted on board, like the turtlebot. However, we're using Windows rather than ROS. After some testing, we saw the dead reckoning of the iRobot is pretty poor (most problems from angle rotated), and found the turtlebot's gyro sensor and power board, which looks very convenient!

Is it possible to access and make use of this gyro sensor through the serial port to improve on the navigation within our C# program?

Is there any documentation or anywhere someone can point me to that would show me how to interface with the sensor and perform any necessary navigation-correcting calculations?

Thanks!
