Hello,
In all the documentation and examples I could find, the units used are in rad/s, but after looking at table 35 of the NXP datasheet, the units seem to be in degrees/second.
This all came up when testing the gyro just lying flat, not rotating, and was reading approximately 0.5 rad/s (which would correspond to ~30 degrees/second) in X and Z.

oops it could be...this is an older library! could you submit a PR to convert the library outputs to what they should be (Rad/s) ?
