Today we will be working with the MPU-6050, a low-cost Inertial Measurement Unit, or IMU. This device has a lot of different applications in many fields including robotics, gaming, quadcopters, and IoT devices.
The MPU-6050 has an internal gyroscope and accelerometer. It's an inexpensive device, available in several packages and modules. The module I am using is very common and has a built-0in voltage regulator so it can work with 5-volt logic.
We will start by looking at the MPU-6050 internals, as well as at the pinout of the module I am using.
Next, we will load a couple of libraries into our Arduino IDE and ruins some sample code to display Pitch, Yaw, and Roll.
After that, we will build a small project, an electronic level. Our level will display on an LCD and will also use 5 LEDs to give a good visual indication of how level the surface is.
Here are the contents for today's video:
00:00 - Introduction
02:53 - MPU-6050 Intro
11:20 - MPU-6050 Arduino Experiments
20:29 - Electronic Level
You can get the sketch and the two libraries used in the experiments on the DroneBot Workshop website.
Hope you enjoy the video!
