gollark: What?
gollark: Good news! It turns out that the MPU6050 *does* have drivers which are compatible with the DMP thing and will actually run on the Pi! Unfortunately they are poorly documented C++!
gollark: Also, the robot is mostly disassembled, so it cannot* really be tested in person.
gollark: I have good news regarding the thing, also. The random accelerometer/gyroscope module which seems to be around seems pretty good and should allow rotation™.
gollark: Don't know.
