I am excited about your project and have just ordered all the parts except for the DFRobot Serial 6-Axis Accelerometer. I want to build a lean angle indicator for my motorcycle. I had this idea in mind for a while, but your video was the trigger. I immediately subscribed to your channel. Now I have a question: Can I order an MPU6050 module from AliExpress instead of the DFRobot Serial 6-Axis Accelerometer? The DFRobot Serial 6-Axis Accelerometer would cost me a little over €36 with shipping to Germany.

[@upir_upir]

Thank you! Yes, you can use any tilt sensor. The advantage of the DFRobot sensor is that it already does some filtering, so the output could be used right away without any other calculations. You might find out that other sensors might provide values that are oscillating a little bit, and some additional software filtering might be required.

[@ThePan51]

Cool project, will rebuild for sure. How about having one display as touch and when touched it calibrates to 0 / 0. Should be doable, right?

[@upir_upir]

Yes, that should be doable for sure.

[@ThePan51]

Spent some time with it, but ... Arduino IDE is 2.3.2. Touch board runs with ESP32 V2.0.12 ONLY, non-touch with 2.0.14 ONLY; I can run Read_User_Setup.ino with them. However I can't run a simple tft.init() with any other ESP32 version, it just continuously reboots, so I guess, the TFT eSPI config is right, the modules are just picky with the ESP32 version. Unfortunately, 2.0.x have no "custom" partitioning. How did you manage to run ESP32 V3.0.1?

[@ThePan51]

Found it: added #define USE_HSPI_PORT to the TFT_eSPI config file. Your program just runs fine with esp32v 3.0.4

[@jc3Dcx]

Will it be possible to use the sensor to output "G's" in accel/braking and cornering?

[@upir_upir]

Yes, that should be possible.

[@Vyndiktus]

Should the roll indicator not be from the perspective of the driver? The back of the vehicle for example facing the direction the vehicle is facing, rather than backwards?

[@upir_upir]

It depends on how you mount the sensor. You can always flip the axis by multiplying the angle value by -1.

[@eslanek785]

Can you do the same for an attitude indicator or artificial horizon for ultralight aircraft?

[@upir_upir]

Yep, that should be possible.

i love watching your videos. i was wondering if you could help me as im new to this stuff. i had a project i wanted to do where a brake light will flash when it senses the vehicle slowing down. after watching a few videos to learn how to program a Arduino i managed to get the accelerometer to sense the movement. after testing it out i realised if i was on a straight and whent down hill it will flash the light because it thinks the vehicle is slowing down. would i need to use the built in gyro, if so could you make a video

[@upir_upir]

Thank you for your comment. What kind of sensor are use using? You can for example sample the acceleration only on one axis, that should help. I do plan to record a video using accelerometer soon.

When this powers down and then powers back on is it resetting its point it believes to be level? If you park on an incline and power is removed, and then plug it back in will it think it’s level?

It always knows the accurate level position, so there is no resetting when you unplug/plug it again uphill or downhill.
