MPU-9250 sample rate lower than the one selected in register map

Hi, I'm using Arduino UNO and I2C protocol to read data from MPU 9250. But the sampling rate is lower than the one I selected, indeed, I try to use 1KHz but the maximum speed I can reach is by reading only one of the sensor and is 25 Hz.

The posted code reads all the sensors.

Start by removing all the delay() statements, and put commands like this in setup(), rather than in the read data function.

  writeByte(AK8963_ADDRESS, 0x0A, 0x01); //enable the magnetometer
  delay(100);

There are several Arduino libraries for that sensor. It might be a good idea to study them and see how they work.

Yes, you were right on that error, anyway is still not enough. the freqency is now 15 Hz. I have already studied the other libraries but I need to write my own code because I want to introduce another MPU in the next steps of the project.

Not well enough. That is perfectly clear from your code. You have a long way to go.

"that error" is one of many such.

Can you give me some hints on where should I concentrate?Can you tell me which code should I take as a reference? Thank you
