	Properties
	Connections
	Accel Gryo SA0 Pin
Determines the LSB of the I2C device address to allow up to two sensors to work together.
	Magnetometer SA0 Pin
Determines the LSB of the I2C device address to allow up to two sensors to work together.
	Channel
Channel selection
	Baud Select
Baud rate option selector
	Baud Rate
Baud rate to be used
	Stop Delay
On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event. Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the I2C communications.
