Programming a NodeMCU with MicroPython: I2C Bus Part 1 (MPU6050 IMU)

[@jimhein9689]

This was a great tutorial. The comments rightfully speak accolades. I was able to follow along without having to keep going back and the code worked perfectly. I was able to adjust the code to work with a Raspberry Pi Pico. Thank you. I look forward to more lessons from you.

Excellent video! Fast paced, and no fluff!

[@stevegables3303]

Clear, concise and well edited! Thank you for your time, sir!

[@metalmancytech]

Thank you! I'm glad to be helpful 👍

i know it is quite off topic but does anybody know of a good site to watch new tv shows online?

[@ansonemmitt4404]

@Jimmy Bryant Flixportal =)

[@jimmybryant7942]

@Anson Emmitt Thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it !

[@ansonemmitt4404]

@Jimmy Bryant happy to help xD

Special thanks to Kevin Thomas who wrote a MicroPython driver class for the MPU6050! Check it out here: github.com/mytechnotalent/MicroPython_MPU6050

link seems to be broken... do you have an updated one?

[@horacewonghy]

esp32 works as well (i use Hardware I2C bus, scl: pin 18 & sda: pin19)

[@jayare7750]

I’m guessing that a D1 Mini would work just the same since it’s the same ESP8266 chip, right?

[@kenwallace6493]

This is great for learning Micropython. I assume very similar code would work on the pyboard and the new Pi Pico.

[@clarkhtse]

wow, that' really helpful for beginners ! thanks

[@raymondliu1444]

This video helped a lot!!! Thank you so much for making this sir!

[@VINICIUSBH100]

uauuuuu that was a very nice tutorial, thank very much !!!!! It was a big big help for me.... best regards from Brazil

[@agnisri1201]

How to read H and L in single request is that accurate? I am wondering how to make this place explain

[@mytechnotalent]

Love your tutorials. 2 questions. Why not create the device drivers as classes? Second question would you be open to creating a tutorial for the APDS-9960 with a detailed breakdown of how to custom create the Gesture Dectection, Color Sense and Gesture sensing? This would really solidify people who would like to contribute to the MicroPython community to write device drivers as there are literally NONE out there other than the work you have done.

[@metalmancytech]

Thank you for the feedback! I haven't made the device drivers as classes simply because the structure of my guides is to build an understanding of the concepts, not necessarily to optimize usage. However, I think that creating device drivers using classes is a good idea that I will definitely consider for my future guides. It's funny that you mention the APDS-9960. I was very close to using this sensor instead of the MPU6050, but I settled on the IMU because, in my opinion, it is more straightforward and easy to understand. I probably will make a video featuring the APDS-9960 soon. Your feedback has given me some new ideas. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a thoughtful comment.

[@mytechnotalent]

@@metalmancytech no worries I have learned alot and will try to make a class library from this foundation.

[@mytechnotalent]

@@metalmancytech again I want to emphasize how valuable this tutorial has been to me to help me get started with device driver development.

[@mytechnotalent]

I just tweeted the new lib I created and put a special thanks at the bottom of the repo linking to your tutorials so others can learn from you. Thank you again. github.com/mytechnotalent/MicroPython_MPU6050

[@metalmancytech]

@@mytechnotalent I saw that! I think I'll link to your repo and credit you at the end of the article for doing this.

[@Steveshp1]

It is really help me. Thank you powerful instruction.

Hi，can I use int.from_bytes function? Read 2 bytes then change bytes into int with int.from_bytes

[@mobachali]

Hi, I got stuck with my esp32wroomdevkit1 . Have issues importing i2c. Any clue? Cheers

[@metalmancytech]

I just got out my ESP-WROOM-32 and made sure it was flashed with the latest version of MicroPython (1.12) and tried importing I2C from machine and had no problem. I will just say to make sure that "I2C" is capitalized. Below is the exact import statement I made: from machine import I2C Feel free to reply here if you have more details on the problem or it still isn't working.

[@mobachali]

@@metalmancytech that's works great now. thanks for for the detailed videos. it helped me better than any other to understand every step of the process
