Using this IMU (https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Grove-IMU_9DOF-lcm20600+AK09918/), I am having an issue with the gyro readings. Seems like the reading comes with lots of noise. Could anyone help me to find a way how to denoise the readings? I am operating the device in low power mode for both the gyro and accelerometer. I am pasting sample output for gyro and accelerometer below.

The accelerometer has another problem. it often outputs a very big value, e.g.,-124.946756 for the X-axis. I was thinking to apply a filter as described here (https://www.instructables.com/Guide-to-gyro-and-accelerometer-with-Arduino-inclu/). But with this issue with the accelerometer reading, I am not sure if the filter would even work.

By the way, I took an average of 1000 samples during initialization and subtract it from the readings for both the gyro and accelerometer to offset any bias and the device was resting while reading the values.
