MPU6050 Raw Data

Materials

Example

Introduction

This example will demonstrate getting the raw data from MPU6050.

Procedure

Connect the MPU6050 to I2C_SDA and I2C_SCL of the board as shown in the diagram below.

image01

Open the example in “File” -> “Examples” -> “AmebaWire” -> “MPU6050”-> “MPU6050_raw”.

image02

Compile and run the example. In the Serial Monitor, you should be able to see the raw data from MPU6050.

If you see that the values are all 0, press reset until you can get values from MPU6050. If the first initialisation is done properly, the values will be sent continuously over the I2C interface and will not cause any hanging issues.

You may choose to uncomment #define OUTPUT_BINARY_ACCELGYRO and comment #define OUTPUT_READABLE_ACCELGYRO to transmit the raw data faster.
