Summary
In some I2C implementations (for example, the arduino core I am using in a project), I2C communication failing to acknowledge / work can fail silently. This, combined with how the library works, means that using this library with some arduino cores may fail silently and just provide all 0s.
To mitigate this, this PR now explicitly checks the ISM330DHCX_ID during
begin; this way, even if the communication fails silently and all 0s are returned, we will catch it and return an error status.Validation
Using this PR, I now get failure if I use the wrong port / address in my arduino core, which otherwise was failing silently.
@cparata this should fix what is discussed in #13 (comment) .
I am not a professional embedded programmer - if you want to see changes, please either be very clear what you want me to change, or feel free to edit this PR :) .
