[Feature] Combine DriveBase with GyroSensor on EV3 #2434

Description

@laurensvalk

Using the DriveBase with the gyro is very popular on SPIKE with Pybricks. It is also the one feature the EV3 never had.

I would like to explore how well this could work, and have some ideas as to how we can implement it.

Using the internal gyro on SPIKE:

drive_base.use_gyro(true)

Possible user API for EV3:

gyro = GyroSensor(Port.S3)

drive_base.use_gyro(gyro)

It would come with all the same caveats that the EV3 gyros always had (especially the older type), but it would make life a bit easier.
