i spent two months searching for this solution, unfortunate i can't offer you more than a sub and a share, thank you very much dude

[@CreatorAcademyAustralia]

Glad it helped! Thanks so much for sharing 😊 Garry

[@alucard8955]

@garry i was thinking that when i use two gyro on the same ev3 it will happen but it was just my illusion, since when i plug the other one it will slightly vary and start drifting

[@rundaganda2586]

Many thanks for the tip. My son is currently taking part in the RoboCup and was puzzling over why the gyro wasn't working properly.

Glad to help! Garry

THX!

Thank you so much! I have had such a problem with the gyro, and now it's fixed! I had to convert it into Scratch which made it a little harder, but it works! Thank you!!!!

[@CreatorAcademyAustralia]

Great to hear it works, thanks for watching! Garry

[@danielebrioschi5422]

Great! Can you explain how you converted it into Scratch, please? ☺

Is there a way to do this in ev3 classroom? I am trying to figure it out and having a lot of trouble.

[@FLL-HamerLegoBreakers_888]

Its work! Very nice video! You have a new sub!😍

[@CreatorAcademyAustralia]

Thanks! Glad it works for you 😊

@@CreatorAcademyAustralia I kept wondering how to get to Max Potential with Gyro, you showed me the last part I was missing, I'm still supraised that there's such a code, 🤗🤗

[@mickyr171]

Couldnt you simply use a wait block in front of the initial gyro block? maybe for a couple seconds so you have time to put it down so its perfectly still? or does it base its measurement off when the program starts regardless of the gyro block being called?

[@CreatorAcademyAustralia]

Hi! The error happens regardless of the program unfortunately. Thanks for watching! Garry

@@CreatorAcademyAustralia that's a shame then, waiting for mine to turn up

[@instantnoodels8807]

I tried out this idea and have been using it for a while with my previous teams and it has been working great. This year I tried out this program but after running it once, it stopped working and I'm guessing the ev3 became immune to it because it no longer works. How can i stop that from happening? The gyro has been drifting every 2 days and is drifting really bad. Our competition is on Tuesday, do you have any ideas or solutions?

[@JT-rq7nt]

Did you figure out a solution? Did updating the EV3 firmware make this fix stop working?

Thanks man subing rn

Thanks for the sub! Garry

[@ahmednabih7367]

Thanks very helpful..why you don't use Ev3 classroom?!

Great question! We may make some content with EV3 Classroom in the future 😊 Garry

Hi! This only works for ev3
