The measured results are at the board level of the required voltage and current draw of the Gyro sensor. The voltage was able to measure with a simple multimeter but the current draw was in the single digit milliamps requiring us to use a more precise multimeter. We supplementally added a demo of how the gyro functions.

The Gyro requires a voltage of 3.25 Volts and the draws a current of about 4.747 milliAmps. Note that the outputted values of Gyro demo will be used to calculate the direction in degrees to better display the change in direction. Also, we will not be using the z data since the maze is expected to be flat.
