I'm using this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000910277147.html
If you can't see it using "i2c-detect -y 1" it has nothing to do with pypilot at that stage and is wired wrong or not a good sensor.
I am not sure but guessing you didnt use level translators? That chip uses 1v8 levels and the pi is 3v3. For this to work you need mosfets and resistors and without these you might have damaged the part.
I definitely didn't use mosfets nor resistors. I'm connecting it directly to the socket of the MacArthur Hat.
Did I burn the IMU? I'm surely learning a lot with these projects haha!
Anyways I'm going to try to detect it using the method you mentioned.
Edit: didn't work.
