Gyroscope code

Could you guys please help me make a program that sets an alarm when the gyro values deviate from the norm?

Sure. Which Arduino? What gyro and specs? What norm values are you looking for and how are you looking? finally, what have you tried, so far?

A gyro is a short term (yeah, I know - define "short term" - depends on quality of the gyro ($$$)) way to look at movement. All gyros tend to wander over time and you need to have some way of calibrating or zeroing it out periodically or you are always going to get "deviation from normal".

My gyro has to have the string wound up on the shaft an pulled occasionally.

sorry for the late reply. I have an Arduino Lilypad and a MPU6050.
