Resources and Going Further
Hopefully that info dump was enough to get you rolling with the MPU-9150. If you need any more information, here are some more resources:
- MPU-9150 Product GitHub Repository -- Your revision-controled source for all things MPU-9150. Here you'll find our most up-to-date hardware layouts and code.
- MPU-9150 Datasheet -- This datasheet covers everything from the hardware and pinout of the IC, to the register mapping of the gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer.
- MPU-9150 Register Map -- This document covers all of the registers in the MPU-9150 and is a must read if you want all of the information. It clarifies inconsistencies in the datasheet.

Now that you've got the MPU-9150 up-and-running, what project are you going to incorporate motion-sensing into? Need a little inspiration? Check out some of these tutorials!
Hobby Servo Tutorial
Servos are motors that allow you to accurately control the rotation of the output shaft, opening up all kinds of possibilities for robotics and other projects.

Qwiic Accelerometer (MMA8452Q) Hookup Guide
Freescale’s MMA8452Q is a smart, low-power, three-axis, capacitive micro-machined accelerometer with 12-bits of resolution. It’s perfect for any project that needs to sense orientation or motion. We’ve taken that accelerometer and stuck it on a Qwiic-Enabled breakout board to make interfacing with the tiny, QFN package a bit easier.
OpenLog Artemis Hookup Guide
How to use and re-program the OpenLog Artemis, an open source datalogger. The OLA comes preprogrammed to automatically log data. The OLA can also record serial data, analog voltages, or readings from external Qwiic-enabled I2C devices. Some of these Qwiic-enabled devices include GPS/GNSS modules, pressure, altitude, humidity, temperature, air quality, environment, distance, and weight sensors.
