Haha, see what people mean about using the breadboards. Reminds me of Ghostbusters!

Don't show everyone what our final design is going to look like

So after a bit of soldering this evening (which I found terrifying btw) I've managed to get the thing to work!

I only have the premium beta to will have to play around with ujr to get my thrustmaster hotas and the gyro working together. Still, I was able to successfully test it in ED by unpluging my joystick and leaving just the gyro plugged in. I selected keyboard/mouse in controls and was then able to set up the gyro for x and y head look.
Amazingly it works!!! I set head lock mode to DIRECT as this seems to work best. It really does work, flying past asteroids looking at them out of the windows is fantastic. I can wait to try it in combat. Thanks to everyone in this thread for there help!
The only issue I'm having is on the x axis. I.e. when I look to the left or right. After only around a minute or so, when I centre my head the view is slightly off to the left. If i play for longer it is even further over to the left. If I press the reset button on the gyro that fixes it, but only for a couple more minutes.
Any ideas guys? Is this the drift issue people have talked about? I though this was on the Z axis though?
Well thanks for all your help guys, I did not think to look in the mpu reset folder I thought the error's were for something on the chip etc, so I got the mpureset sketch working uploaded looked at the serial monitor and I see 3 sets of numbers, it just runs and runs, I assume those numbers are my X Y and Z axis, do I put those numbers in the joy sketch or do I re-calibrate using the recalibration sketch, I tried to search for any information regarding this sketch but I am coming up empty.
We could just scratch off the Cobra but that would be messy.
The correct way to do it would be to abuse some solvents and just re solder resist the boards and then re silkscreen them with something less offensive to Frontier shareholders/ lawyers.
