MPU6050 (GY-521 Breakout) + Arduino Mega 2560 Accelerometer and Gyroscope Application

Hi All,

I’m going to show you today how we can use the GY-521 Breakout with the Arduino Mega 2560 to get the readings from the sensor.

First I have to say that, I am totally new to Arduino and I have a limited knowledge in working with the registers and all the deep stuff. I’m trying to learn them and yes, this will be a beginning. J

So first let me show you what I have already bought.
First GY-521 Breakout for MPU-6050

 

Let me provide you some brief introduction about this product.
The InvenSense MPU-6050 sensor contains a MEMS accelerometer and a MEMS gyro in a single chip. It is very accurate, as it contains 16-bits analog to digital conversion hardware for each channel. Therefor it captures the x, y, and z channel at the same time.
- Chip: MPU-6050
- Power supply: 3.5V (But as there is a voltage regulator on the breakout board, you can use 5V directly)
- Communication mode: standard IIC communication protocol
- Chip built-in 16bit AD converter, 16bit data output
- Gyroscopes range: +/- 250 500 1000 2000 degree/sec
- Acceleration range: +/- 2g, +/- 4g, +/- 8g, +/- 16g
MPU-6050 Datasheet can be found here. Register map can be found here
Here is the schematic of GY-521



Now we have to get the Arduino Mega 2560 Board.



All the information related to this product can be found here.
So we have our items and the next important thing is to hookup these two together. Note the wiring is different for Arduino UNO. This wiring is for Arduino Mega 2560.



Here the connections are
GY-521                                  Arduino Mega
VCC                                        3.3V or 5V
GND                                      GND
SCL                                         Pin 21 (SCL)
SDA                                        Pin 20 (SDA)
INT                                         Pin 2 (Interrupt 0) – for more interrupt pins in Arduino click here


Now for the program. As we have a lot of resources regarding the usage of Arduino, let’s try the code from them (Although I had to spend several hours to work with them :P ).

First let’s try to find whether our device is connected with the Arduino. For that we can use the I2C Scanner code by Krodal to find out the connected I2C devices to Arduino. You can find the code here
Also following is the code. Compile the code and upload it to Arduino. Open the serial monitor and reset the Arduino.

// --------------------------------------
// i2c_scanner
//
// Version 1
// This program (or code that looks like it)
// can be found in many places.
// For example on the Arduino.cc forum.
// The original author is not know.
// Version 2, Juni 2012, Using Arduino 1.0.1
// Adapted to be as simple as possible by Arduino.cc user Krodal
// Version 3, Feb 26 2013
// V3 by louarnold
// Version 4, March 3, 2013, Using Arduino 1.0.3
// by Arduino.cc user Krodal.
// Changes by louarnold removed.
// Scanning addresses changed from 0...127 to 1...119,
// according to the i2c scanner by Nick Gammon
// http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=10896
// Version 5, March 28, 2013
// As version 4, but address scans now to 127.
// A sensor seems to use address 120.
//
//
// This sketch tests the standard 7-bit addresses
// Devices with higher bit address might not be seen properly.
//
#include <Wire.h>
void setup()
{
Wire.begin();
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("\nI2C Scanner");
}
void loop()
{
byte error, address;
int nDevices;
Serial.println("Scanning...");
nDevices = 0;
for(address = 1; address < 127; address++ )
{
// The i2c_scanner uses the return value of
// the Write.endTransmisstion to see if
// a device did acknowledge to the address.
Wire.beginTransmission(address);
error = Wire.endTransmission();
if (error == 0)
{
Serial.print("I2C device found at address 0x");
if (address<16)
Serial.print("0");
Serial.print(address,HEX);
Serial.println(" !");
nDevices++;
}
else if (error==4)
{
Serial.print("Unknow error at address 0x");
if (address<16)
Serial.print("0");
Serial.println(address,HEX);
}
}
if (nDevices == 0)
Serial.println("No I2C devices found\n");
else
Serial.println("done\n");
delay(5000); // wait 5 seconds for next scan
}

It will find your GY-521 at the address 0x68 or 0x69. If it doesn’t find the IMU at that location, there might be an issue with your wiring. Please check it again. 


Now we can use the Krodal’s next code to get the raw outputs from the sensor. Krodal’s sketch can be found here. Please scroll to the end of the page and you’ll be able to find the code. Also I’ll be posting it here.

Here's the output.


Now we are ready to try the code from Jeff Rowberg. Download the I2C library from github. Here’s the link.

Now unzip the file and find the Arduino folder. Copy the I2Cdev and MPU6050 libraries to your Arduino libraries located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries.



Now you are ready to use the I2Cdev and MPU6050 libraries. Locate example code in \Arduino\MPU6050\Examples\MPU6050_DMP6 and upload it to the Arduino. Now you will get the output from the Serial monitor. The output provides you the sensible values from the sensor unlike the raw outputs. Here Jeff has used the onboard Digital Motion Processor™ (DMP™) capable of processing complex 9-axis MotionFusion algorithms. You can find Jeff’s work here.






Now we can use the Processing demo provided by Jeff with the MPU6050 example. You can download Processing hereYou also have to install the toxiclib for Processing. You can find that here.

To install the toxic library just copy the contents of the zip file to the library folder in Pocessing projects directory.

Also create a folder named MPUTeapot in the Processing projects folder and copy the MPUTeapot.pde file to that folder from MPU6050 example code location.

Now you have to do the following changes in the Jeff’s MPU6050_DMF code.
  1. Comment the line  : #define OUTPUT_READABLE_YAWPITCHROLL
  2. Uncomment the line : #define OUTPUT_TEAPOT
  3. Now load the updated MPU6050_DMP code to Arduino.
  4. Run the MPUTeapot.pde in Processing
  5. You’ll see the small plane moving
So hope this would help someone. 
Thank You.

  1. hi! I can´t get jeff examples to work properly, the raw example and de dmp6 also, I just read weird symbols at the serial monitor, any advice? I have connected properrly the MPU6050, even connected the A0 to Arduino's GND to make sure it is at 0x68 adress, as another fact the serial monitor increases its horizontal scroll bar, so, its writing just from left to right all data without line jumps, I preciate any kind of help

    1. I have solved it, it just was the adjustment of bauds at the serial monitor as same as the code, thank you! Now my doubt is only linking processing with the code, it´s only matter of pasting it at the processing IDE? I never have used Processing, and the type of code saiys 'Java', it´s that ok?

    2. Hi El, happy to hear that you have solved your issue. Regarding the processing one, you just have to copy and paste the code. You can use it without an issue. Sorry for the late reply and thank you for your interest. :-)

    3. thank you very much! it work fine! With this awesome tutorial done, I want to work with the values of the degrees of inclination and declination, and also measure the vibration over the MPU6050, I mean, if the board is at more than 90 degrees from the axis, one Arduino's output will be HIGH, is that possible to configure with this program or I have to use another? thanks bro.

    4. hi! again!, I always solve my doubts immediatly I ask you about'em hehe I´m sorry, now I´m just gonna tell you what's next for my arduino project. Now I want to connect the mpu6050 and the rfid module within to tne I2C bus, if you know something that I can use I´m listening for advices, I will keep you up to date with my project and also if someone else on this site are having similar troubles or projects.

    5. Hi El, Sorry I'm late in responding again. I haven't really worked with RFID yet. But I believe with all your hard work and interest will help you to do a successful project. I would suggest you to write a blog post on your project :-). So others will benefit from that. Thanks El. :-)

    6. Don't worry. Now I'm using MPU6050 with SD Shield, with the RFID shield, Tiny clock shield, SD audio files to play when position of MPU's data specifies to activate an interruption, this will be register at a txt file. It is working fine together but my project isn't done yet, i'll keep in touch

    1. Hi Dhiyvya, I'm really sorry for the late reply. But did you try changing the device address to 0x69?

      Delete
    2. How do you change the device address? My wiring is all correct.. My device address is 0x53 for some reason right now.

      Delete
    3. In the Krodal's code you can do it by changing the line no 627.

      // Default I2C address for the MPU-6050 is 0x68.
      // But only if the AD0 pin is low.
      // Some sensor boards have AD0 high, and the
      // I2C address thus becomes 0x69.
      #define MPU6050_I2C_ADDRESS 0x68

      I'm not exactly sure why your device address is 0x53. Normally for MPU6050 it should be 0x68 or 0x69.

    1. Hi Sidharth,
      You can connect to Arduino UNO with GY-521 as given in the following image.

      http://42bots.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/MPU6050-Arduino-Uno-Connections.jpg

      If you refer to the wire library you will see that pins A4 and A5 are indicated as the SDA and SCL pins respectively. Interrupt pin for UNO is 2.

    2. Hi Edward,
      Thank you for the compliments. :-) Did you recheck the wiring? And did you run the I2C scanner and check the address of the IMU? Some time that might be the issue. Device address can be either 0x68 or 0x69. Could you check it?

      Delete
    3. Yep, wiring is okay as far as i'm aware! Address is default at 0x68. I can get the code to spit out angle etc but as soon as processing gets involved there seems to be a road block...

      Ta!

      Delete
    4. And in the code, did you do the following?

      Comment the line :
      #define OUTPUT_READABLE_YAWPITCHROLL
      Uncomment the line :
      #define OUTPUT_TEAPOT

    5. Yep!
      I'm doing this all on a mac, I wouldn't have thought that would have anything to do with it?

    6. Got it! In the processing code the 'use first available port' line forces it to use the wrong port - I needed number 5!

    Thank you for the guide - it's the clearest one around for sure.

    I'm having issues at the Arduino code stage. I've uploaded Jeff's script to the Arduino Mega after checking that I am definitely receiving a variety of the Raw data from the mpu6050. Unfortunately when I bring up the Serial Monitor after uploading Jeff's code I am just seeing:
    Initializing I2C devices...
    Testing device connections...
    MPU6050 connection successful

    Send any character to begin DMP programming and demo:


    .....and then nothing. Also me moving the MPU itself is having no effect on this

    Thanks and I hope you can help!
