Getting Tracebacks on calling get_accel_data()

[shreyasbapat]

We are testing mpu6050 and are currently getting such tracebacks :
``
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "balance.py", line 72, in

accel_data = sensor.get_accel_data()

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/mpu6050/mpu6050.py", line 141, in get_accel_data

z = self.read_i2c_word(self.ACCEL_ZOUT0)

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/mpu6050/mpu6050.py", line 71, in read_i2c_word

high = self.bus.read_byte_data(self.address, register)

OSError: [Errno 121] Remote I/O error
``

What can be the reason for these tracebacks?

Since you're getting an Remote I/O error, the first thing I would check is the connection with the sensor. Is i2c enabled on your device? Are you running as a user that has access to the i2c bus (try to run with sudo if you're not sure)? Are the physical connections with the sensors correct? Check the wires and solder joints.

@shreyasbapat Thanks for posting the issue here and Thanks @Tijndagamer for the suggestions. I resolved those tracebacks by I think re-enabling the interfaces and reconnecting the sensor and the wires. Though we're still facing some problem. new tracebacks are --

Where code mpu.py can be found here -http://www.electronicwings.com/raspberry-pi/mpu6050-accelerometergyroscope-interfacing-with-raspberry-pi

and that for balance.py - https://github.com/shivaay1/Equsant-Self-Balancing-Robot-Python/blob/master/equsant.py

EDIT: We fixed the error by replacing the jumper wires. Thanks for the help! :)
@shreyasbapat , you can close the issue now.

Thanks a lot! @Tijndagamer for a Great library!

Good to hear that it works now. I'm glad you like the library!
