    4 Many Ventana models come standard with an Accelerometer and Magnetometer on a single ​[http://cache.freescale.com/files/sensors/doc/data_sheet/FXOS8700CQ.pdf?pspll=1 FXOS8700CQR1 ] IC.
     4Many Gateworks board families including ventana and newport come standard with either an Accelerometer, Magnetometer, or other inertial measurement unit (IMU) on a single IC.

    6 Note that this device has a low power standby mode which it is in by default, so be sure to enable it if you want to read values from it (see examples below). Register 0x2a and 0x5b relate to this.

     111== Direct i2c Access ==
     112This section provides examples for some typical methods of communicating with the IMUs on the i2c bus. The FXOS8700 information will be used but can be adjusted to match the address of the device present on your board. Refer to the linked datasheets to see more detailed register information.
     113
    93114The FXOS8700 device is on the third (0 based) i2c bus at a slave address of 0x1e. Therefore you can access it directly without the need of a driver if necessary by knowing the register set from the datasheet.
