Be careful - depending on what you want to use it for, the dual-axis
version does not have an on-die temperature sensor like the Analog
single-axis chips do, so it is much harder to properly temperature
compensate them.

For a balancing robot, that would be fine - if you're trying to build an
IMU for continuous pose estimation, you might have more trouble.
