Running OpenPlotter 0.17.1 stable. Is this the latest version?

I have a BME-280 and an MPU-9265. Running the i2cdetect command detects them on addresses 76 and 68 respectively. OpenPlotter detects them on those addresses as well. However it detects the MPU as a MPU-9255. It also detects a random MS-5611 that I'm trying to figure out why. I can add the BME with the "add/update sensor" dropdown menu, but the MPU is not listed under the dropdown. Is there a way to manually add it? Thanks!
Latest OP version is 1.x.x: http://www.sailoog.com/blog-categories/openplotter-rpi

I am afraid the MPU-9265 is not supported, these are the supported IMUs:

I connected an IMU and can see the data in Openplotter tab under compass but cant get this into opencpn. It show as Invensense 9150 how do I get this data as Nmea 0183 into Opencpn
try either going to openplotter, tools, nmea 0183 generator, and select open cpn defaults.you may need a reboot?
you can do the same thing in signalk using the Convert Signal K to NMEA0183 plugin http://localhost:3000/admin/#/serverConf...on/plugins

signalk is easier

In Openplotter - NMEA 0183 if I select adress 127.0.0.1 Iand diagnostic I can see the values but still cant get it in opencpn
UPDATE to the newest version...https://github.com/sailoog/openplotter/blob/beta/CHANGELOG.md

you need to turn the data from the imu into nmea before opencpn will see it.

this is the signalk  dashboard
