It would be good to have them for the final version, using the
standard defaults.

I just had a look at the data sheet:

http://www.st.com/web/en/resource/technical/document/datasheet/CD00003119.pdf

It says:

   Access is obtained by implementing a start condition followed by
   the correct slave address (D0h).

I2C addresses are a bit odd, so this might actually mean 0x68, because
bit 0 is used to indicate Read/write. Does this address match to the
one you have no idea about?
