new driver for MPU6500

[Flensburger]

Hi,

short question.

Plan is to use on CoreF4 the new gyro MPU6500. Shield with chip is on travel. The MPU6500 uses in basic-mode the same adresses and registers, only the hardware ID is different. To use all features, we have to use additional bits and registers.

Variant a) Include the new one in the current MPU6000 driver

Variant b) Add an new driver

Discussion is opened

If you look at how the MPU6150 and MPU6050 drivers are written they have a common mpu60x0.h file they include with the shared register definitions. I would do it that way to avoid having to hack up the drivers.

OK, thanks.

I need a new driver ID

enum pios_mpu6500_dev_magic {
    pios_mpu6500_dev_MAGIC = 0x9da9b3ed,  //TODO
};

How can i get or generate it?
