The mems-gyros start at around $100us and go up in
price depending on features and sophistication. I didn't
know what your budget considerations were so $100
seemed to be a good starting point. I'm sure you can spend
more for more features. They've been around for awhile
and have proven themselves in robotics and other apps.
I'll pass the zip to you offlist.
