Sparkfun mpu6050 hookup

How does the mpu-6050 work?

By combining a MEMS 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer on the same silicon die together with an onboard Digital Motion Processor™ (DMP™) capable of processing complex 9-axis MotionFusion algorithms, the MPU-6050 does away with the cross-axis alignment problems that can creep up on discrete parts.

What kind of sensor does the SparkFun MPU-9250 IMU breakout have?

The SparkFun MPU-9250 IMU Breakout features the latest 9-axis MEMS sensor from InvenSense. The S ystem i n P ackage ( SiP) combines two chips: the MPU-6500, which contains a 3-axis gyroscope, a 3-axis accelerometer, and the AK8963, a 3-axis magnetometer. Before getting started, you may find the following links useful: What are Pull-up Resistors?

Where can I find the driver for my SparkFun board?

The sparkfun.inf driver and sparkfun.cat digitally signed catalog file will be found in ...Arduino_Boards-master/sparkfun/avr/signed_driver . When you initially plug the board in, an Installing device driver software bubble notification should pop up in the lower-right corner of your taskbar.

What can I do with the Arduino mpu-9150?

The example Arduino code allows you to do things like print raw accelerometer, gyro, and magnetometer data. The original library came from i2cdevlib.com and was based on the very similar MPU-6050, which only used an accelerometer and gyro. The MPU-6050 device library was modified to include raw magnetometer data for the MPU-9150.

What is the output of the MPU 6050?

Listing them by priority, they are : accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer and altimeter. The MPU 6050 is a 6 DOF (Degrees of Freedom) or a six axis IMU sensor, which means that it gives six values as output. Three values from the accelerometer and three from the gyroscope.

What is the difference between the mpu6050 gyroscope and Mpu 6050 accelerometer?

The outputs of the gyroscope are in degrees per second, so in order to get the angular position we just need to integrate the angular velocity. On the other hand, the MPU6050 accelerometer measures acceleration in the same way as explained in the previous video for the ADXL345 accelerometer sensor.

What is the function of mpu6050?

The MPU6050 module is a Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems ( MEMS) which consists of a 3-axis Accelerometer and 3-axis Gyroscope inside it. This helps us to measure acceleration, velocity, orientation, displacement and many other motion related parameter of a system or object. Provides power for the module, can be +3V to +5V.

What is an IMU 6050?

MPU6050 is a 6 DoF (Degrees of freedom) IMU which stands for inertial measurement unit, a really great sensor to know the Angular acceleration through 3 Axis Gyroscope and Linear Acceleration through Linear Accelerometers.

Why does the mpu-9150 not work with the Arduino?

But that is actually not a problem. First, the MPU-9150 has an LDO (a voltage regulator) that converts 5V to 3.3V. Second, the I2C communication pull up is on the MPU-9150. When the Arduino wants to communicate it pulls the line low (to ground).

Is the code for the MPU 9150 on GitHub?

The current code on github is chaotic and does not work properly. The MPU 9150 is a combination of a 3 axial accelerometer, 3 axial gyroscope and a 3 axial magnetometer. You should at least post links to the git and to the datasheet of the sensor.

What kind of accelerometer does the MPU 9150 have?

The MPU 9150 is a combination of a 3 axial accelerometer, 3 axial gyroscope and a 3 axial magnetometer. You should at least post links to the git and to the datasheet of the sensor. (See the how to use this forum post on top)
