Package Exports

mpu6050-gyro

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (mpu6050-gyro) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

mpu6050-gyro

A node driver for the MPU-6050 IMU. Tested and working on Raspberry pi.

Installation

npm install mpu6050-gyro

Usage

var gyro = require("mpu6050-gyro");

var address = 0x68; //MPU6050 address
var bus = 1; //i2c bus used

var gyro = new gyro( bus,address );

async function update_telemetry() {
    
    var gyro_xyz = gyro.get_gyro_xyz();
    var accel_xyz = gyro.get_accel_xyz();
    
    var gyro_data = {
        gyro_xyz: gyro_xyz,
        accel_xyz: accel_xyz,
        rollpitch: gyro.get_roll_pitch( gyro_xyz, accel_xyz )
    }
    
    console.log(gyro_data);
    
    setTimeout(update_telemetry, 500);
}

if ( gyro ) {
    update_telemetry();
}

Hardware setup

This driver reads MPU-6050 datas over I2C.
Plug VCC to 3.3V ( pin #1 ),
GND to GROUND ( pin #6 ),
SDA to SDA ( pin #3 / GPIO 2 ),
SCL to SCL ( pin #5 / GPIO 3 ).
