Hey, I'm doing my final year project and this is what I got for the output of MPU9150 for accelerometer and gyro.

These are the raw data.

332   -428   -16972   -219   3   162

and I convert it by divide these raw data with 16384 for accelerometer raw data and divide with 131 for gyro raw data. (scale that i used was 2g and 250deg/sec). these are what i got.

the MPU9150 was put is a static place but how can the gyro reading didnt become 0?
can anybody teach me please!

[waltr]

Output OFFSET ERROR. You need to calibrate the Gyro and the accel for offset errors then subtract these from the raw readings. There could also be noise getting into the chip that is causing the variations in the readings since just an offset error does not explain why the accel and gyro readings are not near constant. Do you have adequate ceramic de-coupling caps very close the each pair of Vdd & Vss pins?

[UhClem]

The data sheet clearly specifies that the gyro zero offset can be anywhere in the range of +/-20 d/sec.

Because the noise spikes have a magnitude of about 256 counts, I suspect that you have overlooked this paragraph from the data sheet:

The data within the gyroscope sensors’ internal register set is always updated at the Sample Rate. Meanwhile, the user-facing read register set duplicates the internal register set’s data values whenever the serial interface is idle. This guarantees that a burst read of sensor registers will read measurements from the same sampling instant. Note that if burst reads are not used, the user is responsible for ensuring a set of single byte reads correspond to a single sampling instant by checking the Data Ready interrupt.
