Hi,
I am using MPU9250 with Raspberry Pi and coding with Python. I am trying to make a virtual compass. The compass is working fine. But when I move the compass swiftly, it takes some time (around 2 seconds) to stabilize to the new direction. MPU9250 records a few (around 5) data points during the interval but it takes time to output it. Is there any way of reducing this latency and increasing the number of data points so that the virtual compass will follow the real motion more simultaneously?

I have been using the following Python library - Link. I have tried using "Accel Full Scale Select 16G" and "Gyro Full Scale Select 2000dps" but there was no observable difference.
