Read an i2c-based mpu6050 accelerometer on a raspberry pi

Read accelerometer, gyro, and temperature data

One inject writes data to the i2c address and register of the mpu6050 device to configure it for reading.

The top inject button then can request 14 bytes from the same i2c address and formats the response data for display to the debugger.
