MPU-9150 (I2C) with Labview

The 9150 has more than 100 registers and the compass on it is a separate I2C device which the 9150 accesses over its own internal I2C bus.

I recommend code from Kris Winer on github.
Also the 9150 is no longer available and got replaced with 9250 which is mostly compatible except for some of the calibration.

You can also use my code on github (uutzinger). Teensy works well as Arduino replacement.

Making USB serial communication work with RoboRIO is not trivial either.

Thanks.
At the moment we're sticking with the normal gyro, but we already had the Arduino in mind. One thing that will make that process complicated is opening a communication with the sensor AND the rio at the same time.
