The previous method of subtracting gravity when calibrating accelerometers required that the Z-axis be exactly parallel to and upward of the direction of gravity, but now a normalized gravity vector is used.
Now, when I initialize the module with the Z-axis not facing up, the first few returns will be around 0 and then jump to the actual value, instead of the initialized position as ypr=0 (which is what I thought it would be before) (I didn't test what the value of yaw would be at this point). And it doesn't have this problem: #77

This algorithm for obtaining the normalized vector could perhaps be replaced by "Fast Inverse Square Root".
Variable naming may not standard

Oh no, the normalization of the gravity vector should stop when the Magnitude is less than 16384, otherwise it will cause oscillation rvt/headtracker#10 (which didn't happen in the example but in other project). I have identified the problem now and am preparing to upload improved code.
