I have been watching quite a bit of DroneBot's videos these past few weeks and this one is by far for me the most inspiring! I have to thank whomever it was that suggested the MPU-6050 sensor as a focus, as well as DroneBot of course. His videos are always great. I have a good feeling about where the wheels in my mind are rolling to now!
egads.. I came late to class... I have an mpu-6050 but have not yet had a chance to play with it.. Now I have some great ideas.. thanks Bill.. I don't worry about my ssd because I can't get anything to work on windows 3.1 any more... keep smile Billiam.. life is good... thanks for the share and please carry on.. till thursday!
18:34 The YPR angles drifted like crazy when the IMU sat still… you need to double check the code to see if there’s any compensation or filtering built in…
This is another great video from the Dronebot Workshop! I'm looking forward to experimenting with the MPU-6050 after having enjoyed watching this clip.
Absolute genius! Trying to adapt for a different use and the roll is changing way too slowly (unlike the pitch which is spot on). In the vid it responds instantly!
Really cool. I have had one of the 9DOF sensors in my drawer for several years, only tried playing with it a couple of times, didn't find it all that exciting since I am not into drones. Now, however I can see where it may be very handy in my RV for leveling her. The built in sensors are so slow that getting the old gal level enough for both walking and the operation of the frige are essential. I currently use an old spirit level and my wife telling me which way to go with the hydrolic levelers, but this would make life for both of us much easier and lest chaotic when we move to a new site. That is if we can ever get on the road again with this damn virus crap.
Can´t install the Jeff libraries. "Error: Request installZip failed with message: 13 INTERNAL: Library install failed: library not valid"... any idea what can be done?
Hey, thanks, you are great, your workshop is great, your videos are great . I wish I could drink a cup of coffee with you in your workshop and poke around.
Nice video and gave me an idea to build an joystick that does not rely on potentio meters but can use the gyro. just to see if I get better and finer results compared to a analog joystick
The link for the NewLiquidCrystal Library on the level sketch is no longer working. Is there an alternative, working link? I am unable to get this project to work without the required libraries. Thanks!
Very nice. And the electronic level was exactly what I needed for a current project. I'm using laser LEDs that point to the ground. And I want to switch them off if my device is moved or tips over to avoid someone accidentally looking into the laser beam. Seems like the GY521/MPU-6050 is the component I need as a safety device. Thanks for your effort.
Excellent video, as per (how soon we take perferection for granted). Am I correct in assuming that the initial calibration should be done on a levelled surface. As this will be the "zero" attitude for all future calculations?
you can do the initial calibration while not being on a leveled surface. You can use the accelerometer values for the calibration of the gyro to "tell" it in what position it is in.
Well... 4 years later. Something is wrong with one of the zip files you've provided for this build. The zip file for the i2c dev lib seems to be overwritten with electronic level sketch.
I can understand that the digital spirit level needs only roll and pitch, (a) if for any purpose, I needed Yaw, then can it be done on similar lines as the sensor has 3 DOF? (b) If two of the MPU6050s are placed perpendicular to each other, will I have all three parameters of Roll, Pitch and Yaw?
(a) The internal registers of the 6050 chip are (in decimal) 59 and 60 for X acceleration , 61 and 62 for the Y acceleration, and 63 and 64 for the Z acceleration. The first register of each is the high byte. You can probe all three registers and then get all three axes. (b) No need for a second chip to get 3-D orientation.
Am I correct in assuming the default orientation of the MPU is with the INT to the bottom left. So X+ goes right and Y+ forward and Z+ Upwards. Which means at 31:02 the X+ is now pointed towards you and Y+ to the right. This would make Pitch+ direction go counter clockwise. Thx
When the MPU is first initialized and calibrated on a level surface are the results stable or do they drift over time? If there is drift how often would the lever require a reset?

Your explanations are very welcome and clear. We only had to change the LCD adress to let the code provided for the level work.

What an excellent teacher you are sir. You really are superb at putting information across in a very clear and measured manner. Keep up the good work!

i think the "w" is an omega?
the real part of a complex number is typically represented by a miniscule omega (which looks like a lowercase w)
Thanks for helping get through Uni.

YouLAMEwhlteboi
how do you handle drift though? I've found these have a bad tendency to lose their position very quickly, even when not in motion.
I wish we could somehow put one 6050 horizontally and one 6050 vertically and calculate yaw angle. I need to buy BNO055 now 😢
Thank god I found this. Just discovered a new hobby!

If that's a question, you need to be more specific. What is this "4 wheeled moving platform" supposed to do? Why do you need an IMU for it?

Would you explain it to me why you didn't use pull up resistors and the i2c pins on right top (18 and 19)?
Thanks for the explanatory video.
I think that the gy-521 module has inbuilt pull-up resistors.
Very nice. And the electronic level was exactly what I needed for a current project. I'm using laser LEDs that point to the ground. And I want to switch them off if my device is moved or tips over to avoid someone accidentally looking into the laser beam. Seems like the GY521/MPU-6050 is the component I need as a safety device.

The library you used doesn't work with ESP32-C3. The MCU crashed during initialization. I used MPU-6050-Fusion instead.
Excellent video, as per (how soon we take perferection for granted). Am I correct in assuming that the initial calibration should be done on a levelled surface. As this will be the "zero" attitude for all future calculations?
you can do the initial calibration while not being on a leveled surface. You can use the accelerometer values for the calibration of the gyro to "tell" it in what position it is in.
you Iamewhlteboi
It occurred to me that this video may be quite useful for the amateur rocket-building community due to the gyro & accelerometer information.

The link in the article with the code for the liquid crystal library needs to be updated... it took me to an error ☹️☹️☹️☹️

nice but as you only lit one LED at a time, you could save 4 resistors and only put one on the common ground wire of the LEDs ;-)

Hey @DroneBot Workshop, can this device give live update of coordinates of accelerometer? Like every second?

Well... 4 years later. Something is wrong with one of the zip files you've provided for this build. The zip file for the i2c dev lib seems to be overwritten with electronic level sketch.
I think the I2Cdev file is available elsewhere on the internet.
I can understand that the digital spirit level needs only roll and pitch, (a) if for any purpose, I needed Yaw, then can it be done on similar lines as the sensor has 3 DOF? (b) If two of the MPU6050s are placed perpendicular to each other, will I have all three parameters of Roll, Pitch and Yaw?

(b) No need for a second chip to get 3-D orientation.
This is sooo cool! Could we extend this idea to make a three axis camera gimbal? Maybe add some servos?
youLAMEwhlteboi
Am I correct in assuming the default orientation of the MPU is with the INT to the bottom left. So X+ goes right and Y+ forward and Z+ Upwards. Which means at 31:02 the X+ is now pointed towards you and Y+ to the right. This would make Pitch+ direction go counter clockwise. Thx
Also at 31:02 the Yaw would 90?

Hi! How long could be the cable from the "UNO" to the sensor, in other words, how far away could be the sensor from the controller?
When the MPU is first initialized and calibrated on a level surface are the results stable or do they drift over time? If there is drift how often would the lever require a reset?
