Hi there, Another post mentions the following note from InverSense "DMP sensor fusion works only with gyro at +-2000dps and accel +-2G" [mllite_test.c, l. 967]. It looks like DMP has been build for the wearables market for step counting and gestures ect. I would suggest that if this is confirmed that it be included in the DMP FAQ section. I ran some tests and while DMP does not throw an error at other settings but the values returned did not look correct. If you are looking at 16G measurements I would suggest pulling the raw values and doing the Math in the MCU. Regards Dave
