Hi.
I got the Drotek imu to work ok with the twog but i have two problems.
1) The X axis seems to be reversed (towards the i2c signal pads and not according to the arrows
printed on the pcb)
I know that aspirin has this backwards but this is the 10df imu with the mpu6050 on I2C bus, who knows maybe it has the same flaw.

2) i tried to calibrate the accelerometer and what i got was not correct because the imu started to drift wildly.
Here is the console output:

And here is what i use for now which works ok:
    <!-- SENS = 2048 LSB/g / 9.81 ms2/g = 208.766564729 LSB/ms2 / 10bit FRAC: 1024 / 208.7665 -->
    <define name="ACCEL_X_SENS" value="9.81" integer="16"/>
    <define name="ACCEL_Y_SENS" value="9.81" integer="16"/>
    <define name="ACCEL_Z_SENS" value="9.81" integer="16"/>

Any ideas?
Chris
