Hi!
 
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
 
I have a gyro (http://www2.gpmd.com/image/g/gwsm2001.jpg). I can plug it in but I don't know if there's a class to read from it.
 
I also read this post: http://www.roboticsconnection.com/userForums/Topic603-4-1.aspx
I'm wondering if you guys have tips on how to install the ones suggested on the board.

Does the board support brushless motor?
 
Thanks!

What is the electrical interface for this sensor?  We need more information to know if can be interfaced.  Is it analog, pwm, or what?

Don Lewis might have some tips on interface one of those Gyros...I think he might have successfully interfaced one.

The Serializer does currently support one Bipolar stepper motor (using both onboard h-bridges), but I'm seriously considering removing it, to make room for some more useful commands.  I don't think very many customers use this functionality since you can only control 1 stepper motor, and it takes up a lot of ROM.   As for the brushless motors found on helicopters and airplanes, then NO, the Serializer does not support them.   You'll need one of the brushless dc motor controllers for that.
