+// This sample code shows how to use dmpSetFIFOPacketSize() so as not to waste time
+// initializaing the MPU6050 when the MCU has been reset or powercycled but the MPU6050 has not.
+// Instead we just need to set the FIFOPacketSize, since this is the only setting needed
+// that was stored in the MCU RAM.
+
+// This example code was written for the LGT8F328. In this example the LGT8F328 goes into
+// a deep sleep for 1 second which erases its ram and thus causes the MCU to restart on wakeup.
+// The code is based off a simplication of example code "MPU6050_DMP6".
+
+// Code and comments related to demonstrating how to use dmpSetFIFOPacketSize() are preceded
+// by a line of asterisks (***************************************************************).
