Surely we can use these to conquer the world! Any thoughts from you Whizzes among us? Possibly use like a gyro compass for robot navigation? Need specs.

    It sure is pretty a pretty gyro. I'll bet it can consume a lot of current, at least to get up to speed. Much more than a MEMS type would. If you bought me one, I'd be happy to mess with it, or at least reclaim the gold plate.

    Sooooo, I gues there is a story coming about a missle program manager that got canned for using $13 gyros?

    Closest thing I could find to specs on this is a slightly different model.

    $13 is cheaper than a Gyro sandwich in many places.

    Probably have to dissect one to begin to figure it out. Little Jonny could really sweep the Science Fair awards with a gyro off a Phalanx missle.
