The GY-521 module is a breakout board for the MPU-6050 MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems) that features a 3-axis gyroscope, a 3-axis accelerometer, a digital motion processor (DMP), and a temperature sensor. This tutorial gives only a brief introduction to the GY-521/MPU-6050. In particular, it is shown how to retrieve the raw sensor values.

Hi Michael. This is, and by far, the best introductory tutorial I have seen on the GY-521 and the MPU-6050. And your sketch worked the first time too !! I think I need to stabilize the readings, because they change too much from one reading to the next. Any idea on how to do that? I heard of an Low Pass Filter, but fail to find an adequate one. Could you please help me on this quest? I will seek more tutorials to convert these raw values into real usable values that could be fed to a motor driver board, so I can use it to stabilize a platform's stability. Thank you for your help and time, and until that time, have a great day.

The MPU 6050 product specification for register 6B specifies that in order to reset the MPU to its default value, you need to set the DEVICE_RESET bit (bit7) to "1". Why did youset it to zero (command Wire.write(0); in the setup() function)?

Great tutorial, very well done! Quick question - regarding the data output, what is the output data rate? Perhaps better asked, what is the time difference between each data set output?

@Dutch3DMaster 3 жыл бұрын

If you do not use a delay, it's basically as fast as the Arduino itself can process it over a serial bus, and depending on the one you use you might need to look up the information for the Arduino. It might also be that the pins SCL and SDA have a different clock compared to most of the other pins, but I am not completely use. I built a sensor with it for tracking head rotation (to input into a program that mimicks the TrackIR protocol for certain games) and the delay is small enough for that that it does not pose a problem for that use, but obviously, whatever use you have in mind might change the situation.

I think i might need some help understanding the stop paramater for endTransmission(bool) and requestFrom(address, quantity, bool). i get that if you type true as a stop parameter, the connection is stopped and if you type false the connection is kept alive. But how do i know what i need to use for my code? I really really want to have a better understanding for the I2C Bus, but i cant manage to find a more detailed description regarding this particular topic. Unfortunately i cant wrap my head around on what it means to 'stop' the Bus or to 'restart' it. If you read this, maybe you can leave a comment! I would be very very happy. Thank you in advance!

Curious if you know of anyway to use the mpu-6050 in a scenario where it's not connected to a computer and you could place it on a device and monitor movements and then go back and review those movements later. I'm assuming something else would be needed but am not aware of what that would be.

Hey man I just opened 1 of the 3 I ordered today. It was working fine, and then it started reading only -1 for everything except temperature. I am just trying to test the MPU-6050 before soldering the pins on so I know whether I need to return it or not. Mine is wired the exact same and the code is the same... Do you think it would also be a connectivity issue? could I have fried it somehow? (EDIT: my green LED on the MPU-6050 still turns on so I assume it isn't fried?)
