MPU 6050(A) module problems - WHO_AM_I reports 0x98, not 0x68 as it should. Fake MPU 6050

The WHO_AM_I is 0x68 of course, unless you have an other chip. Sometimes a similar chip is put on a module, an other genuine chip or a counterfeit or something else.

Could you try again with minimal code ?

Code not tested.

// WHO_AM_I is 0x68

#include <Wire.h>

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println( "The sketch has started");
  
  Wire.begin();
}

void loop()
{
  Wire.beginTransmission( 0x68);
  Wire.write( 0x75);
  Wire.endTransmission();
  
  int n = Wire.requestFrom( 0x68, 1);
  if( n == 1)
  {
    int data = Wire.read();

    Serial.print( "0x");
    Serial.println( data, HEX);
  }
  else
  {
    Serial.println( "Sensor not found");
  }

  delay( 1000);
}

[UPDATE] I have tested this code

void some_function( uint8_t *data)
{
  int size = sizeof(*data);
  Serial.println( size);
}

and it does indeed return 1. However, everyone else uses a integer for the number of bytes to read.
