gollark: The basic raw-value-reading bit, which I could easily implement myself in python, works fine, but some DMP code I had to copy from the arduino library (which is probably why it breaks horribly?) causes æææ.
gollark: ```MPU6050 3-axis acceleromter example programASAN:DEADLYSIGNAL===================================================================2032==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: SEGV on unknown address 0x00000013 (pc 0x0014255c bp 0x7ea10018 sp 0x7ea10000 T0) #0 0x14255b (/home/pi/mputest/a.out+0x14255b) #1 0xcdec3 (/home/pi/mputest/a.out+0xcdec3) #2 0x76c256bf (/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6+0x2c6bf)AddressSanitizer can not provide additional info.SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: SEGV (/home/pi/mputest/a.out+0x14255b) ==2032==ABORTING```This is very unhelpful.
gollark: Now, *technically* I could implement all the filtering and sensor fusion algorithms and calibration myself in python, however no.
gollark: So, I want to read some values from an I2C device. Now, you might think "foolish gollark that's something like 50 lines of python at absolute most", and it is except to get anything but raw values I need to use some on-chip "digital motion processor" which is extremely poorly documented.
gollark: Yes, I was replying to ubq.
