Accelerometer calibration

It's more complicated than this. According to the Invensense application note on calibration, the bias is stored at 4096/LSB sensitivity IIRC. But I found that if I used this I got the wrong bias correction. So I used 2048/LSB which produced better results. This might have to do with the way I am treating the temperature bit, which I need to correct. So the point is, the scale at which the bias registers store the data has nothing to do with the scale used to collect the data. And I ended up usually just applying the bias in the main loop anyway and not using the accel bias registers. I do use the gyro bias registers though.

It seems that I misinterpreted your code ^^'. In fact you store the bias as if it begins from bit 0 instead of bit 1. So dividing by 8 instead of 16 is correct.

For the temperature bit, maybe using 0xFE mask for LSB will help :
data[1] = (accel_bias_reg[0]) & 0xFE;

Yes, this is the fix.
