A Spark, a D'oh!, a Surprise, and Data Sheets

A project log for Quick Draw Motion Tracking

See if I can't make a 9/10 DOF sensor for a buddy's larger project

So SparkFun's documentation on it's "IMU Breakout - MPU-9250" (although it's lacking the BMP280 of GY-91, it's a start) looked good in it's Hookup Guide and it's SparkFun_MPU-9250_Breakout_Arduino_Library repo.

In no particular order:

The MPU9255:

The InvenSense MPU-9255 is a System in Package (SiP) that combines two chips: the MPU-6555, and the market leading, 3-axis digital compass [still seems to be the AK8963C] with an on-board Digital Motion Processor™ (DMP) capable of processing complex MotionFusion™ algorithms.

While the code now runs, I'm getting what seems like inaccurate/wildly fluctuating results - or so it seems to me - it stills motionless on my desk.

The MPU-925x code mentions being Teensy 3.1 compatible (that may only be because of the 3.3V of the module though) - which should be more than sufficient to run the display (so as to avoid being tethered to the laptop for the Serial Monitor), and I have a 3.5, so I guess I'll be converting the example to use that board, and install Teensyduino.
