Does the Python module for the ICM20948 have a method to get scaled values like in Arduino? I am working on displaying sensor readings on the data page of my Robot program and need to know how to get scaled values. Dale ---

If you can read the raw values, it is trivial to scale them. The scale factors are given in the ICM\_20948 data sheet. ---

jremington the thing is I am not nor will i ever be qualified as a programmer. I am a very qualified mechanic with mechanical design training. There are no examples on setting the scales but I figure it out anyway and as there is an API in the Arduino Library I now have code to scale the values. But this really should be a method in the driver module, not something you copy and past from program to program. Dale the mechanic ---

Great that you managed to solve the problem! Unfortunately, the scaled values are not particularly meaningful unless you have calibrated the sensor, at the very least to remove the offsets.
