Different firmware for MPU6050 and MPU6000?

Hi,

I've successfully tested the MPU6050 with the MotionApps driver. Now i'm using a MPU6000 (we intend to switch from I2C to SPI in future) in a very similar environment, but loading the firmware always fails. So my question is wether there are any differences concerning the firmware. Do I need a different firmware for the MPU6000?
Or is it just a I2C communication problem, and if so, will SPI improve the situation?

Regards

Hi,
I've switched to SPI, and this seems to work much better. I can run the SPI bus with 1MHz without problems.

Thanks for the update, so there is no issue with the DMP firmware being loaded? Did you work around a check for device ID?

There is no problem loading the firmware. Obviously the controller's i2c implementation is somehow flawed.
