The fault light was coming on at the remote gyro, but the other status
lights seemed OK.

Could I ask what problem you were having with the gyro prior to
putting the gyro sensor into the course computer? I also had an issue
that was solved the same way.
Thanks

Greetings!
Has anyone in this NG experience with the Raymarine Gyroplus Yaw
Sensor, used with the older model 100 course computer? Is it worth
while, i.e.
is
there a significant performance improvement?
Wout

I have an S3 course computer to which I added an external GyroPlus. I
had issues with external unit and the tech that I deal with offered
to remove the gyro chip from the external unit and install it in the
S3 for free. Once I did that, I had no problems.

While I can't comment on using a model 100 (which is my old course
computer, which I now store as a spare), I will say that I'm amazed
at how well the gyro does in adjusting for wave action. I'd swear
that someone was at the wheel sensing what's going on. You can watch
the wheel get
into
a rythmic swinging motion to counter-act the sea state. I hate
following seas on the quarter, but the gyro handles them very well.
I'm a believer!
