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