Sensors

First tests with MPU-6050

  1. Identify the exact MPU-6050 variant, package and manufacturer documentation.
  2. Identify power, ground and signal pins in the documentation. Assemble the circuit with power disconnected.
  3. Follow the manufacturer’s evaluation circuit. Use a current-limited low-voltage supply and the recommended logic levels.
  4. Measure input and output signals and compare them with the accelerometer and gyroscope functions.
