This project demonstrates how to interface a gyroscope module with an Arduino UNO to measure orientation and angular velocity. The MPU6050 gyroscope module is utilized, providing both accelerometer and gyroscope data.
- Arduino UNO Board
- MPU6050 Gyroscope Module
- Jumper Wires
- MPU6050 Module:
- Connect the VCC pin to the 5V pin on the Arduino.
- Connect the GND pin to the GND pin on the Arduino.
- Connect the SDA pin to the A4 pin (SDA) on the Arduino.
- Connect the SCL pin to the A5 pin (SCL) on the Arduino.
-
Connect the Gyroscope Module:
- Wire the MPU6050 gyroscope module to the Arduino UNO according to the circuit wiring instructions.
-
Upload the Code:
- Copy and paste the provided code into the Arduino IDE.
- Verify and upload the code to your Arduino board.
-
Monitor the Serial Output:
- Open the Serial Monitor to view the accelerometer and gyroscope data.
- Ensure that the MPU6050 is successfully connected, and data is being read from the sensor.
-
Initialization:
- The Arduino initializes serial communication and the MPU6050 module.
-
Data Reading:
- The Arduino continuously reads accelerometer and gyroscope data from the MPU6050 module.
-
Serial Output:
- The accelerometer and gyroscope data (in terms of acceleration and angular velocity) are printed to the Serial Monitor.
- Orientation Sensing: Use the gyroscope module for orientation sensing in robotics or drone applications.
- Motion Tracking: Track the movement or rotation of objects in 3D space.
- Gesture Recognition: Implement gesture recognition systems based on motion data captured by the gyroscope.
