To test the drift, we began by starting ***GyroTest.java*** and letting it run for 10 minutes to check if the sensor developed heat which could then maybe result in a drift of the reading value. This didn't seem to be the case - in the end, the sensor readings were still shifting between 597 and 598.
Afterwards, we modified ***GyroTest*** to let both motors run while the program was running. We also added a data logger to the program to gather information for later observations. We used this to calculate the average reading and the average drift, presented in table 2 below. Two cases were investigated: In the first case, the robot was un-modified. In the second case, the robot's wheels were taken off. ***TODO: HVORFOR???***
Afterwards, we modified ***GyroTest*** to let both motors run while the program was running, in order to see the effect of the resulting voltage drop. We also added a data logger to the program to gather information for later observations. We used this to calculate the average reading and the average drift, presented in table 2 below. Two cases were investigated: In the first case, the robot was un-modified. In the second case, the robot's wheels were taken off. We took off the wheels in the hopes that this would lessen the vibrations of the robot resulting in a more stable position.
