Ep. 57 Arduino Accelerometer & Gyroscope Tutorial MPU-6050 6DOF Module

[@TrentSterling]

First tutorial I've found for this module that actually explains what's going on. And the first one with working code too!

[@PhilipHeuberger]

superb video tutorial. by far the best for the 6050 I've seen here. I've watch a lot in anticipation of getting a pair for my project. The full explanation on registers and setting them correctly was well worth the 30 mins. Thank you!

Agreed. This is still the best real world explanation for this MRU and its registers. Whole lot more of the same on your channel. Amazing. Thank you.

A little over 5 years since this video was produced. First time viewer. Excellent tutorial. Thank you!

[@fowti1470]

This is what all tutorials should be! Kudos for actually explaining how the code works, and why it looks like that. Now I'm significantly less intimidated by this sensor

[@karthikvigneshwar8742]

This is by far the best tutorial for MPU 6050 I've seen so far. It's very helpful to learn it this way going all the way to the littlest of details. Thanks a lot!!

this is the first time i see the real tutorial for this mpu6050 , this is the best tutorial i have ever seen . tq very much sir

[@rajatsharma-pv8jd]

No one else has explained the code along with the data sheet so well! Cleared a lot of my doubts and got to learn new things as well. Thank you for such a content!! Keep posting :)

[@utkarshverma1]

Great, in-depth and clear demonstration. The way you skipped using MPU6050 libraries really helped me understand more. Can't thank you enough!

[@naskorcinemaytps...7469]

Thanks a lot ! A friend and I are building a drone for a school project, and all the other programs for the MPU-6050 were impossible to understand with our lack of experience in Arduino... You made it completely clear, so we owe you much ^^

[@折り紙-j2t]

This is the best video ever. I really like how you go down in to each registers to explain stuff. it is really difficult to find other people doing the same demonstration. What leaners need is not how to write digital write and digital read. They need to understand how it works.

[@ahsanbaig8569]

Fantastically explained! No one (except you) bothers to explain the basics. Thanks a lot.

BEST EXPLANATION ❤❤😊😊😊 I searched a lot but can't find a video that makes me understand . Until now make more videos like this ❤❤❤❤

[@vbrwqjw49]

Best video coverage of the MPU6050. In-depth explanation of the code and how the device works. A well-earned like.

[@ibzih]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! It was the first one I watched about 6050 MPU and then went down the rabbit hole to find more information about this sensor. But now watching this video again at last, I am surprised how easy and effective your explanation was about the registers and accessing them, etc. Thanks again!

[@anthonyj777]

Excellent video; low level commands with direct reference to the data sheet. People get more out of this thing when they dig to this level. Well done.

[@VladRomanov89]

thanks Anthony

Уважаемый Владимир, с удовольствием просмотрел Ваше видео. Изучаю вариант применения датчика MPU-6050 для коррекции угловых отклонений для радиоуправляемых моделей кораблей. Спасибо!

[@abcddd580]

I watched this video a few months ago while trying to build my quadcoptor from scratch, and to be honest i was intimidated by all the registers and everything as it seemed like complicated stuff. I am rewatching this now, and it is such a great video, and you explain everything so well. Thanks!

[@kriminull8461]

this video is a godsend, thank you. note to beginners (like me) who have little experience with arduino: make sure you solder the pins to the mpu6050 first, because the code won’t work otherwise i initially thought u could just use the components unsoldered but that isnt the case all the best :)

Best MPU related video I have seen till data period

[@wessidemd]

I don't know how I would ever get anywhere with this sensor without this tutorial. Thanks so much!

[@JJSmalls]

Took me several days to find a video that goes over a datasheet approach to how to use this sensor. THANK YOU!

[@brianberg3419]

Wow, this video saved me so many hours of figuring the datasheet out. Thank you so much for explaining in such a simple, and yet advanced enough method to implement more advanced project. Again, thank you. Keep up the good work.

Hi, I am colombian, I love your video, It helpe me a lot. I am doing my grade work, It is a sign language translator glove, I am using a similar sensor MPU9250 and your video was very helpful. I understood many things that were driving me crazy . THANK YOU :D!!

I realize you left this comment 2 years ago, but i just wanted to say thank you so much! It was driving me crazy trying to figure out what that line meant. Wish this comment was pinned to the top!

[@kaousheik9985]

Nice one. But why there is a need to read twice

[@fixmili]

@@kaousheik9985 That's because you read the first 8 bits first and then the last 8 bits. You combine them with an OR (|), which in binary its essencialy adding them both, and you get the 16 bit number. Note that the first read has to be shifted to the left, so if you have 11110000, after you shift you'll have 1111000xxxxxxxx. Then if you add using OR: 11110000yyyyyyyy. That's the 16 bit number that the MPU gives you by giving 2 bytes in a row.

[@filipcoja]

Big thanks.

[@DUSHYANTPANCHAL]

The best tutorial actually explaining the code properly I found finally. Though 29 minutes but worth every second. Thank you sir.

[@VladRomanov89]

Appreciate the feedback! Is there anything else you'd like to see me cover? Any other projects you're working on?

[@DUSHYANTPANCHAL]

EEEnthusiast 1) Could you make a video on how to use esp8266(without shield) with arduino for serial communication with smartphone over espWifi. Can be used to make wifi based smartphone controlled car just like many tutorials on hc05 bluetooth controlled. 2) Secondly can I get in touch with you please. I am a student and want some proper tech support from people like you.

[@Aiduss]

Best tutorial i have seen for MPU units

[@maxmillan9378]

So I used your code in order to find the position of a rotating arm (pendulum). A few things you need to change if you want to do that. 1) set all of the variables to floats 2) you need to calibrate the sensor, there should be a +/- in the rotx,y,z equation 3) change the delay time to something smaller to get more accurate results. Otherwise amazing vid.

[@asifnassar1427]

How did you find the position? I mean, we are getting angular velocity from gyroscope and linear acceleration from accelerometer, right? How did you calculate position from this?

I have a slightly different MPU-6050 than what I've found online (an extra pin and split: 5 on one side, 4 on the other). Following all of the information and libraries I found, nothing worked. Yours is the only one that worked. Whatever you setup in your libraries is what got it working.

thank you a lot you are explaining actual working of it. I really appreciate you for doing it without using other library.

[@unalfaruk]

The best tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you! However, if your raw data is wrong, your calculation will be wrong, so you should set the offset values of MPU6050. This information may be help other audience.

[@sandeepkapare]

KZbin unfortunately doesn't allow thumbs up more than once. Excellent video. Please keep going.

[@BooktownBoy]

Ok, it was quite an easy fix...just run a setup read of gyro data, store it in a new temp variable, then ammend the processdata function to subtract that value before dividing by 131. Thanks again for this video..thumbsup.

[@charlesbiggs7735]

Thanks a million for this video!!! It's good to actually LEARN this I2C stuff. I set the MPU address to 0x69 (RTC used 0x68). Allegedly, my MPU is a 9250. I checked the datasheet and the gyro/accel addresses were the same. Thanks again.

[@marosakr778]

My greeting and thanks for this very informative and helpful Video , just a very tiny and small comment ( to convert the output values ´from accelerometer into g by the mentioned Example , it has to be (2*20000 /16384 = 2.44 g ). Also the new data sheet doesn't have all of those details unfortunately., and the LSB is now g not mg . That means you have to check the LSB sensetivity in the data sheet: Really a great Work.
