Most flight controllers, such as those in the Pixhawk Series, include a gyroscope as part of the flight controller's Inertial Motion Unit (IMU(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_measurement_unit). You should not need to attach one as an external device.

The gyroscope must be calibrated before first use of the vehicle:
