Orientation? Compass Heading? #25

I'm wondering if we can use the mpu6050 as a compass with a heading that can tell direction.

I think that requires a separate magnetometer/compass. The datasheet states that you can connect a third party magnetometer module to the "Auxiliary I2C", and the 6050 can act as a I2C master to read from that module.
