The MPU-6050 is a six-axis device (accelerometers in X/Y/Z and gyro in X/Y/Z) that also has a built-in temperature sensor. It talks on the I2C bus and is quite easy to talk to with MicroPython. This example uses a GY-521 module that contains all the support electronics needed to use the MPU-6050, and an RP2040 (Raspberry Pi Pico) microcontroller. The connections are: <nowiki> MPU-6050 VCC ---> Pico 3V3 (Pin 36) MPU-6050 GND ---> Pico GND (any GND pin will do, I used Pin 38) MPU-6050 SCL ---> Pico GP1 (Pin 2) MPU-6050 SDA ---> Pico GP0 (Pin 1) MPU-6050 XD ---> No connection MPU-6050 XCL ---> No connection MPU-6050 ADD ---> No connection MPU-6050 INT ---> No connection </nowiki> The program (tested in MicroPython 1.18) wakes up the MPU-6050 and then reads 14 bytes of data into an array that takes care of the twos compliment numbers. The accelerometer, temperature, and gyro readings are then extracted from the array, some minor calculations are done on them, and the results are printed. There are two useful datasheets for the MPU-6050, the product spec: https://invensense.tdk.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/MPU-6000-Datasheet1.pdf and the register map and descriptions: https://invensense.tdk.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/MPU-6000-Register-Map1.pdf <nowiki> # MPU-6050 # 03: Further cleanup, simplification, fix comments # 02: Clean up, expand to all axes and gyro. # Attempt to read and make sense of the output of a MPU-6050 3-axis # accelerometer and gyro using a GY-521 breakout board. # https://invensense.tdk.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/MPU-6000-Register-Map1.pdf # https://invensense.tdk.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/MPU-6000-Datasheet1.pdf # MPU-6050 output registers are 2-byte, MSB first # All registers default to all zeroes on power-up, except for: # -
