I have 3 adafruit MPUs hooked up to adafruit I2c Multiplexer. All of which is hooked up to a Arduino uno.
Attached is also my code.

}

In this configuration All of my mpu sensors are sending back unreasonable numbers for acceleration and temperature. Am I initializing my mpus correctly in my code?

@cchpackers1, your topic has been moved to a more suitable location on the forum. Installation and Troubleshooting is not for problems with (nor for advise on) your project :wink: See About the Installation & Troubleshooting category.
