The first thing you want to do is to verify that the gyro sensor is properly connected to CM-510. You do this using RoboPlus Manager. Connect to the robot using the icon on the tool bar. Then you can select the tab on the right that reads Ext. Equipment. The gyro is supposed to be connected to ports 3 and 4. You will have to configure the device type on those ports to either IR or DMS to get proper readings. Once that's done you can see the readings change every few milliseconds.
Port 3 is supposed to read the forward and backward axis. Try tipping your robot backward and forward. You should see a response in the readings on port 3. Port 4 is supposed to read the left to right rotation. So tip you robot to the left and to the right. The port 4 readings should reflect the motion.
If you don't see a reading proportional to the amount of tipping on either channel then there is something wrong with your connections. If things look alright at this point then you can start using the gyro in your code.
A good explaination of how to use the gyro in RoboPlus Task can be found in the Robotis e-manual. Take a look in:
