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.

The Uncertain 7-Cube

The Uncertain 7-Cube is a non-committal, less-than-helpful, but also entirely honest fortune teller. Simply ask it a yes or no question, give it a nudge, and the 7-Cube will dutifully inform you that it doesn’t have all the facts and doesn’t feel comfortable making a guess.

Wake-on-Shake Hookup Guide

A basic hookup guide for getting started with the SparkFun Wake-on-Shake. The board gives you the ability to put your project into hibernation until bumped or shaken awake using the ADXL362 accelerometer. This means you can design projects meant to stay inert for long periods of time, possibly even several years, depending on the battery type used to power the project.
