MPU-9250: Strange values for Accelerometer


i use libs kris winer (https://github.com/kriswiner/mpu-9250/) , richard barnett (
https://github.com/richards-tech/rtimulib-arduino) access data of mpu-9250.

they are, sort of, ok. pitch , roll correct, yaw not.

when @ raw data noticed z-value of accelerometer big, negative number. e.g. values this:
ax=52, ay=130, az=-2164

i have 2 mpu-9250 units , both show behaviour.

because there no acceleration (i didn't move sensor) expect 3 values 
a) close 0.
b) be, more or less, in same value range.

what's explanation this?


if z-axis pointing down, large number corresponds acceleration due gravity. more technically correct, force exerted surface on sensor rests, counteracting acceleration due gravity. try turning sensor on side , report observe.

the yaw measurement meaningless if there magnetic materials or current carrying wires near sensor, depends on magnetometer (compass).
