Hello!
I'm wondering if those familiar with the LSM9DS0 9DOF IMU sparkfun breakout board could comment on this?
I've been debugging an issue where upon powering up the Teensy 3.1 + LSM9DS0, the gyro readings are static and do not update. The accelerometer and magnetometer update seemingly fine.
If I were to upload the exact same sketch, the gyros will then provide correct running data. But if I unplug the USB and connect it back, the gyros once again provide static data - until I upload the same sketch
Any ideas? The only thing that might cause this _could_ be the servo I'm using for my project as I'm drawing power off USB, but disconnecting it doesn't do anything.
Arduino 1.6.5, Teensyduino 1.2.4
OSX 10.10.4
Teensy 3.1 @ 96Mhz
Sparkfun LSM9DS0 v10
I'm basically learning about estimating attitude, and using it to learn about PID control for gyro stabilizers. This all works, except the gyros do not work at power up! After uploading the code, it works. This is the sparkfun sample code:

LSM9DS0_Simple.ino
SFE_LSM9DS0 Library Simple Example Code
Jim Lindblom @ SparkFun Electronics
Original Creation Date: February 18, 2014
https://github.com/sparkfun/LSM9DS0_Breakout
The LSM9DS0 is a versatile 9DOF sensor. It has a built-in
accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer. Very cool! Plus it
functions over either SPI or I2C.
This Arduino sketch is a demo of the simple side of the
SFE_LSM9DS0 library. It'll demo the following:
* How to create a LSM9DS0 object, using a constructor (global
variables section).
* How to use the begin() function of the LSM9DS0 class.
* How to read the gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer
using the readGryo(), readAccel(), readMag() functions and the
gx, gy, gz, ax, ay, az, mx, my, and mz variables.
* How to calculate actual acceleration, rotation speed, magnetic
field strength using the calcAccel(), calcGyro() and calcMag()
functions.
* How to use the data from the LSM9DS0 to calculate orientation
and heading.
Hardware setup: This library supports communicating with the
LSM9DS0 over either I2C or SPI. If you're using I2C, these are
the only connections that need to be made:
LSM9DS0 --------- Arduino
SCL ---------- SCL (A5 on older 'Duinos')
SDA ---------- SDA (A4 on older 'Duinos')
VDD ------------- 3.3V
GND ------------- GND
(CSG, CSXM, SDOG, and SDOXM should all be pulled high jumpers on
the breakout board will do this for you.)
If you're using SPI, here is an example hardware setup:
LSM9DS0 --------- Arduino
CSG -------------- 9
CSXM ------------- 10
SDOG ------------- 12
SDOXM ------------ 12 (tied to SDOG)
SCL -------------- 13
SDA -------------- 11
VDD -------------- 3.3V
GND -------------- GND
The LSM9DS0 has a maximum voltage of 3.6V. Make sure you power it
off the 3.3V rail! And either use level shifters between SCL
and SDA or just use a 3.3V Arduino Pro.
Development environment specifics:
IDE: Arduino 1.0.5
Hardware Platform: Arduino Pro 3.3V/8MHz
LSM9DS0 Breakout Version: 1.0
This code is beerware. If you see me (or any other SparkFun
employee) at the local, and you've found our code helpful, please
buy us a round!
