Temperature

Temperature of the IC die is available from the orientation class interface. This may be used, for example, in additional calibration of the motion data. The spec sheet indicates that the raw temperature reading is uncalibrated. What this means was answered by NXP staff in a community post:

The temperature offset is not factory trimmed, so the readings are usually way off.
Simple one-time offset calibration at a known temperature is needed for a precise 
absolute measurement.

Yes, the sensitivity is 0.96°C/LSB, so one count in the TEMP register corresponds 
to 0.96°C.
