Pam,
Thank you so much for your kind help. I am very new to programming and actually haven't done any coding from scratch. I hope you don't mind I shoot some questions about the code you posted. It seems to me that this excerpt of code is similar to DMP6 running code. As you mentioned, you don't use the interrupt part of this code too, I am trying to remove the interrupt from the code MPU6050_DMP6.ino. Would you kindly tell a look at it and let me know if this is correct. Thank you again.
