+# About
+This is a test application that is polling all three SAUL devices
+(Magnetometer, Accelerometer, Gyroscope) of the Bosch BMX055
+9-Axis Sensor.
+This test is a copy of the standard saul test. Since it utilizes all
+capabilities of the driver it is a sufficient test of the sensor.
+
+# Usage
+The application will initialize the modules with default parameters and read
+out accel, gyro and compass values each second
+default parameters are:
+- Magnetometer Sampling Rate: 10 Hz
+- Accelerometer Range: 2G
+- Gyroscope Scale: 2000 DPS
