Re: Using MPU6050 through I2C bus

The MPU-6050 can be used 2 ways. The raw gyro and accel values can be read from the chip over I2C. The MPU-6050 has a computing engine on the chip. It can give a quaternion output of the fused accel an gyro. The computing engine mused be started up by loading many registers and memory locations. Allot of code. We have used an Arduino Uno to talk to the chip. Look at The Sparkfun break out board to get links to both forms of code. The Mpu-6050 so far seams to be a very stable gyro. There is also the Mpu- 9050 that includes a magnetometer and can give 9 DOF fused quaternion. How ever the mag part is not done on the chip. That has to be done by code on a processor. Many different algorithms to do this. Question? what is the best way to put a 6 byte packet into the C-rio from an Arduino?
