Hello, I'm building a camera gimbal that will use a Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG) for the IMU. FOGs are awesome!! Best stabilization money can buy. I'm wondering if the SimpleBGC controller can accept position information from the KVH DSP-1760. Do you guys have any thoughts, comments or suggestions? Thanks!

Regarding electronics, it is not hard to connect this FOG to CAN_IMU module - it has free UART port and can be used as an interface to this gyro. You need to add only RS422-to-TTL converter to get 3.3V logic level on Rx and Tx, and +9V from a separate source (CAN_IMU has +5V option only).
You can use "Extended", "CAN_MCU" or "Pro" controllers which support CAN_IMU module.
From the software side, we can discuss adding support of this gyro to our firmware. Write request to our helpdesk if you decide to continue.
