py_imu_mpu6050

Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Driver based on on the MPU6050

Introduction

This module is able to communicate to the MPU6050 throught I2C. The hardware support is very wide since the code is using Adafruit-Blinka and adafruit-circuitpython-busdevice that provides neccesary configuration for different platform, as shown in the following list:

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

"Adafruit-Blinka" "adafruit-circuitpython-busdevice" "adafruit-circuitpython-register"

The Hardware is the MPU6050

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the RRaspberry pi, Beaglebone, Jetson Boards, etc. you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install py-imu-mpu6050

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install py-imu-mpu6050

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-folder-name
cd project-folder-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install py-imu-mpu6050

Usage Examples

See:

• examples/MPU6050_SimpleRead_test.py for a simple read demo.
• examples/MPU6050_CSV_IMU_test.py for a writing IMU data into a csv file.
