L3G4200d

Hi guys, I'm new here, hope you could help me :drooling_face:

I'm setting up a Quadrocopter (Arduino controlled self-evidently :wink: ) and for this purpose I need a PID controller.
I already got my gyro L3G4200d (not the one from Sparkfun (SparkFun Tri-Axis Gyro Breakout - L3G4200D - SEN-10612 - SparkFun Electronics), but one with the same chip (http://www.play-zone.ch/de/elektronik-kit-zubehoer/sensoren/drei-achs-gyroskop-breakout-l3g4200d.html) yeah it is in german :stuck_out_tongue:
My problem is, if I'm reading values (or controlling servos with it) it sometimes suddenly stops transmitting data or (even worse) gets stuck with random values.
I don't want this to happen sometimes in mid-flight, so I hope you could help me fixing this problem.

Cheers :%

is the power supply stable? :slight_smile:
r there enough capacitors near that chip?

u could ask the manufacturer, what may cause that fünny behavior... :smiley:
