Arduino Projects by R

 Hey everyone! I am back with an interesting project. Today, you will be learning about controlling a Simple 2 axis Robotic Arm, made from Micro servo motors, with an MPU-6050 sensor module. Please feel free to visit my previous blog post to learn about the MPU-6050 sensor module. Hardware components used in this project Arduino Mega 2560 - You could use any other Arduino microcontroller, but make sure you use an external power supply.

 Hey everyone! Sorry that I have not posted in a while. Today, I am back with a tutorial about interfacing the MPU-6050 sensor module with your Arduino microcontroller board. The InvenSense MPU-6050 is a low-cost, highly accurate inertial measurement unit (IMU) with six degrees of freedom (DOF) . IMUs can measure acceleration, inertia and a number of other parameters to allow you to determine their spatial position and velocity. It contains a MEMS 3-axis accelerometer and a MEMS 3-axis gyro in a single chip. It also has an onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP) which processes complex 6-axis MotionFusion algorithms. This sensor module is also capable of accessing external magnetometers or other sensors through an auxiliary master IIC bus to provide complete 9-axis MotionFusion output. The MPU-6050 sensor module also consists of a temperature sensor but it's less accurate. Examples where MPU-6050 may be used Automotive industry - To deploy airbags, Vehicle roll handling Game control
