SIR I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH. I have been trying to fix gyro issues (values increasing over time/inaccurate values) and trying different libraries for literally 7 hours and the libraries are unnecessarily complicated. Your video is very clear, straight to the point and extremely helpful lots of MPU 6050 videos are either unclear or give an unsatisfying result. Thank you so much!!!

A remark on yaw angle values : Even if you initially calibrate yaw orientation, yaw values will increase nonetheless. I assume this is because of the integral approximation that is occurring behind the scenes. As a matter of fact, the gyroscope doesn't measure angles instead it measures angular motion, that is in rad/sec. To go from that to having angles you need to integrate thus having to use some sort of integral approximation. The reason why you don't see this happening with pitch and roll values is because the gyroscope's pitch and roll angle values get the privilege of being 'corrected' by the accelerometer's sensor data. The yaw values, on the other hand, don't have this privilege. Edit : typos

Wow. This has been the best source of information I have found so far for getting useful data from an MPU6050. I think it is the use of the MPU6050_light library. Thanks!

Absolute banger of a video mate. I was going on an absolute tirade trying to calculate the yaw values, but the library works beautifully.

Bro, this was so helpful. I figured out how to pull values without this but having a library like this that actually works is a huge time saver

I was looking for yaw measurement with good calibration and finally i found it !! thank you so much.

Great timing. I've just started using an MPU6050 in my motorcycle data logger project to measure lean angle, acceleration and braking force. I'm using an ESP32 with the MPU6050_tockn library. You can set the calibration in the code once it's known. It's a great little module. I've ordered an MPU9250 so looking forward to having a bash with that when it turns up. Keep up the good work old boy!!

An amazing little thing for the price, and to think it's actually got microscopic mechanical parts inside. I did build a balancing robot a while ago but was also thinking of one inside a small cube with possibly Bluetooth to control things on the PC by choosing a side and then rotating, so a side chooses an item and rotating gives a value. But never got any further than the initial idea!

came back here again cause this tutorial is extremely great

Thank you so much! I have looked all over the internet for an example for this module, and it worked very good for me! Big Thanks to you :)

Thanks for this. I have been struggling to get this to work from quite a long time.

Basically all the 3 angles calculated using gyroscope drift, but then a complimentary filter is used to combine values from angles calculated using gyroscope and accelerometer, since the accelerometer can only be used to measure roll and pitch values hence the complementary filter can only be added to roll and pitch but not yaw. So yaw drifts.

:-) Obviously the yaw increase when not calibrated is sensing the earth rotation :-)

Thanks a lot, die normal MPU6050 Library wasnt working, but now i can finally start

You just made my day

cheers mate, i only needed the yaw angle so im glad you went into extra detail on that. Life saver!

Thanks buddy for sharing this valuable info

Really helpful Especially the library❤ Thanks

Wow nice... Finally I got what I was searching for long time. Can you please share wiring diagram, photo of the board and list of items required

Thanks for sharing this.

thank you and this is very helpful!, I understand it quickly, thankyou.

4:18 So the exact library used will be dated, especially as Adafruit and other repositories update their libraries, but it's important to note that, if the access to the MPU6050 is uncertain with an installed library, try another one from the manager. Especially important for future use.

Happy to oblige with a patronising comment ;-)

I need to measure the angle of the basketball shot. Can I use it, and what angle is considered correct?

The solution i needed! Thanks a bunch!

thank you. this is so helpful

it can not turn over 90 degree

hi. i need help for my school project. i have a load cell with hx711 amplifier . i want to show load and mpu readings symultaneiously on oled screen. both codes run fine when ran single. when i try to merge them then the code stops after 1st loop. i want help with proper code for this. plz help me , im not smart enough for this

Lol!! This video is funny and informative. Good job!!!!

Hello, I wired Arduino and MPU6050 and uploaded project to microcontroller. But I have one problem. If gyroscope not moving (is in stable position) Z axis angle continuously decreasing. Approximately 0.5 deg/minute. How I could solve this problem? Any advise I appreciate. Thanks

Using a magnentometer, we can measure yaw values.....? My doubt is that I am using the MPU9250 and I have already made the code, however, the values of the gyroscope are drifting and counting up point by point. As I have already calibrated the Gyrocope, what else can I do ....? If possible, please reply to me.....

I wonder if the MAP function works with these parameters and if yes what are the maximum and minimum values to add in the works with that function.

mpu.calcOffsets(); not working when i want to recalibrate with button Can you help me?

I need to use this for a full motion flight simulator, but I want to make sure it fits the job. Basically, I've been trying to use the accelerator to get the angles. However, as the platform moved, it was reading incorrect values thus making everything shake. My questions are: - is this library capable of getting just the angle (ignoring the platform motion)? - if I initialise the system at any angle, would it still be able to get the actual value (getting the value from the accelerometer, for instance) or will it start at 0;0;0 deg? - How often do I need to re-calibrate the system? Thank you for your kind help and attention

That was just great!. The simplest way I have found so far. Thanks !!. I have a question: The YAW value is not very accurate... it changes all the time. Is there anything to do with it? Or is it just the 6050 hardware which is not good enough? Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you again!

I only see Z slowly increasing, the X and Y stays on 0, any idea?

thank you for this video, finally I could read data from my sensor but I need some help, I'm using this sensor with Arduino nano, but I can't make it work with Opentrack software, could you do a tutorial for achieving it?, thanks again!

bro how can i do the same with an adafruit oled display 0.96 ssd1331?

Hi, I'm a beginner. I want to ask, what acceleration is meant by MPU6050, can it measure angular acceleration?

I'm able to get this to work when the MPU6050 lays flat, however my robot stands up at 90 degrees initially. I can't get accurate readings when the calibration starts with the MPU vertical. idk why, any help?

That was very helpful! Is it possible to measure the position value (coordinates) with the MPU6050? By integrating the acceleration values or something else? What would you advise to use to get these values for a mobile robot. I would be very grateful for help ;)

Hallo sir I want to make an active suspension for an rc car base on gyro and accelerometer But i am beginer on arduino Could you help me? 🙏

at 6:19, how did you get the live data from the board to be shown on screen?

Hyy it's really useful. But values are changing continuously without delay. Is there any way to display the values slowly??

hello, when opening the serial monitor it is completely blank. Is there a reason for this?

Really great video, easy to understand, I am trying to write code for if statement to get led to light up when X val = 50 degrees have tried all I know but failing, could you please help? Thank you and merry Xmas from Australia

How does the example code know which pins are you using, for SCL and SDA input? Should I always use A4 and A5, or I dont have to specify pins and just use the mpu.getAngleX,Y,Z() function? And should I connect it also to A5 and if I use Arduino Mega?

Do we not need pull up resistors for Data and Clock lines?

Hi. XTronical. I'm getting abnormal readings. My Pitch is crazy. In the 0º position it gets 40-45º. I didn't get it. After a complete pitch movement of 90º, it shows 145º. Great video, by the way!

Does the yaw increase because of gravity affecting it?

hi, ty for the great video. i tried using the coding without oled. It works well on both roll and yaw. Buy my pitch (yaxis) can only reach max of 89 degree only. Can you or anyone help me with this issue?

yaw is changing with respect to roll and pitch right ???is it correct

does it have forward and backward data?

Australian 👍🏼

One thing I can’t figure out, is how to get/calculate heave - vertical motion. I want to use it in a boat to display pitch, roll and heave ( wave height) Anybody have an idea?

Can I use this in a drone?

Stupid -- The yaw change (rotation of the xy plane around the z axis) is not a drift or an error that needs to be zeroed. I put my MPU6050 on the kitchen table and collected the axis output for six and a half hours. Pitch and roll values were stable throughout the entire period. However, the yaw values are constantly changing at an extremely linear rate of 0.25 degrees per minute. That's 15 degrees an hour. The planet you are on is rotating at such a speed. It's not a coincidence.

😀

Man. This damn module ALWAYS Yaw drifting. >_
