Jun 7, 2016 at 22:17 comment added John Birckhead @Kozuch I guess I stand corrected! I can't see how a bare mems gyro can approach this level of bias. Do you know what the term "in-run" bias stability means? Is there specmanship going on here?

Jun 7, 2016 at 21:53 comment added Kozuch The Xsens gyros and Analog Devices iSensor gyros are both MEMS and can do around 10 deg/hour at best. Both priced in $100s or lower $1000s (depending on accuracy). The entry level units do around 20 deg/h for about $200-300 which I think is very good value still.
Jun 7, 2016 at 21:45 comment added John Birckhead Yes. When still, this gyro will report that it is slowly turning by this amount. The type of gyro you want is going to be a navigational grade and pretty expensive. Typically they have a caged spinning mass, sometimes powered by a hysteresis motor. I haven't heard of any solid state gyros that approach this accuracy.
Jun 7, 2016 at 21:13 comment added Kozuch Ok, so they call it "Zero-rate Offset" - I am looking for a higher quality gyro with say bias up to 20 degrees/hour. So this Bosch will give typically 1*3600 = 3600 degrees/hour.
Jun 7, 2016 at 21:07 comment added John Birckhead The bias is typically +/- 1 degree/sec, worst case +/-3 degrees/sec on page 14. (not useful as a north seeker).
