to be honest I´m a little bit confused about the M5 Fire device. As stated in the documentation there is a MPU6050+MAG3110 build in the fire.</p>
<p dir="auto">So there are some questions (at least for me) unanswered :-)</p>
<ol>
<li>Why is there a MPU6050+MAG3110 combination build in the fire where the gray one has a MPU-9250 ?</li>
<li>How can you use code from the M5 gray on the fire without recoding the whole IMU stuff?</li>
<li>Why tells the github example that there is a MPU9250 in the fire :<br />

</ol>
<p dir="auto">Very confusing at all. Is anyone here able to bring a little bit of light into the darkness :-) ?</p>

You named it ... These are so exiting devices, but if you study the docs I have to facepalm my self sometimes :-)</p>

Thx for the link to your repo. Unfortunately I don´t have a fire yet. I ordered a black one (where I didn´t know that the IMU is not available). And then I ordered a gray one. It took 4 weeks to get the gray one to germany. I know it has arrived some days ago but I´m on vecation until saturday :-)<br />
The black one is still missing - for 5 weeks now. I really hope it arrives, soon.</p>
<p dir="auto">So I will do my first tests on saturday or sunday. And I´m still unsure if I should order a fire. Is it worth the price ... and did I really need the additional features?</p>
<p dir="auto">I´m working on a data glove at the moment where I will use the gray M5Stack - or let´s say I hope I can use the M5 in general. I hope it´s not to heavy  and I can mount it on top of the glove. But that´s a little bit OT now ...</p>
<p dir="auto">Will see if I order a fire for some detailed testing :-)</p>

<p dir="auto">Hmm, good question. I had also no information about the schematic when I made this example. I just tried to gather this information from the internet.</p>
<p dir="auto">There is the original example for many M5Stack types and I just tried it and it worked.<br />
<a href="https://github.com/m5stack/M5Stack/blob/master/examples/Modules/MPU9250/MPU9250BasicAHRS/MPU9250BasicAHRS.ino" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://github.com/m5stack/M5Stack/blob/master/examples/Modules/MPU9250/MPU9250BasicAHRS/MPU9250BasicAHRS.ino</a><br />
But because I found it to bloated to work as an example I reduced it to the one you found.</p>
<p dir="auto">There was no feedback from anyone yet if it works or not. On my M5Stack it works.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you want, you can try many more examples in my repo:<br />
<a href="https://github.com/ChrisMicro/M5Stack/tree/master/examples/Fire" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://github.com/ChrisMicro/M5Stack/tree/master/examples/Fire</a><br />
and give me feedback.</p>
<p dir="auto">The I2C scanner example shows two I2C devices at address 68 and 75.<br />
There is no device at address 0x0e which would be the magnetometer. So I assume the magnetometer is build in the IMU and than it should be a MPU9250.<br />
At least in my M5Stack Fire. But probably the changed the schematic.</p>

I have tried to document the various M5Stack modules <a href="http://forum.m5stack.com/topic/239/howto-m5stack-with-gps-gsm-and-lora-all-at-the-same-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">here</a>, I have tried to figure out as much as possible about the FACES keyboard (unsuccesfully, mostly) but I haven't looked into the gyro/mems/magnetometer/etc side of things.</p>
<p dir="auto">It really sucks that the people making these things never answer any questions...</p>
<p dir="auto">High on the list, among other things:</p>
<ul>
<li>Schematics for all devices, all versions. (e.g. M5Stack FIRE)</li>
<li>Schematics for FACES keyboard</li>
<li>Lists of hardware modifications between and within the different model series</li>
</ul>
