Questions tagged [mpu6050]

The MPU6050 is a Motion and Position sensor device that operates on an I2C bus. Importantly it is a 3.3 Volt device that is popularly used to provide 6-axis information with other devices and not just the Raspberry Pi - so connection of modules incorporating it may need special attention/configuration to work on the RPi.

The device is made by InvenSense and the main product page is here.

Some past question and answers have suggested that specific set up steps may be required, e.g. not-all-devices-that-are-connection-via-i2c-are-showing.

Change I2C Pins on Raspberry Pi

On a RPi 3, default SDA-I2C and SCL-I2C are assigned to pins 3 and 5 (same as GPIO02 and GPIO03). Is possible to change to another pins? How can I do this?

Rasberry with MPU6050 detects strange peaks in acceleration and gyroscope measurements

I am setting up the MPU 6050 with Raspberry 3b + for measuring acceleration and gyroscope. I made some tests with the sensor MPU 6050 at rest (just on the table, without motion). The measurements show some strange high peaks (two green peaks in…

How to set up MPU6050's registers properly?

I would like to use the MPU6050 as IMU in my quadcopter. I've been Googling for 2 days, but I can't find anything where this is explained well. I know that the settings are not general, but I hope there exists something like a scheme. I've read…

MPU6050 gyroscope not responding

I was testing my MPU6050 with Raspberry PI and got accelerometer(X,Y,Z) and gyroscope(X,Y,Z) data forming on registers at decentely high sample rate. Looks like I've accidently fed +5v from RPI to SDA or SCL the other day and weird things started to…
