The ADIS16470 is a 3-axis gyroscope meaning it must be parallel to the earth for it to work!

## YAGSL Checklist

* [ ] Ensure the ADIS16470 is attached to the roboRIO firmly.
* [ ] The roboRIO is centered on the robot.
* [ ] The roboRIO is flat parallel to the earth.
* [ ] The robot DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL on startup for at least 10 seconds!

## Communication

The ADIS16470 attaches directly to the SPI port on the roboRIO and is only connectable via there with YAGSL.

[^1]: Select the `adis16470` gyroscope as the primary gyroscope.

[^2]: ID is not relevant for the NavX so `0` is chosen arbitrarily.

[^3]: The `canbus` is not relavent for the NavX so `null` ensures nothing is set in the configuration.

[^4]: Reads default counterclockwise
