Arduino Toolkit - mpu6050

: mpu6050: MPU-6050 6 degrees sensor

Methods

: obj = mpu6050(arObj)

: obj = mpu6050(arObj, propertyname, propertyvalue ....)

Constructor to create MPU-6050 sensor

Inputs

arObj - the arduino parent object

propertyname, propertyvalue - optional property name, value pairs. Current known properties are: Current properties are:

I2CAddress: I2C address of the sensor (default 0x40)
Bus: I2C bus - 0 or 1 (default 0)

Outputs

obj - created object

Example

 
 a = arduino()
 sensor = mpu6050(a)

: [C, timestamp] = readTemperature(obj)

Read the temperature

Inputs

obj - the sensor object

Outputs

C - read temperature in deg C.

timestamp - timestamp when read

Example

 
 a = arduino()
 s = mpu6050(a)
 # get temp
 temp = s.readTemperature

: [readVal, timestamp] = readAcceleration(obj)

Read the acceleration rate

Inputs

obj - the sensor object

Outputs

readVal - the 3 acceleration values

timestamp - timestamp when read

: [readVal, timestamp] = readAngularVelocity(obj)

Read the angular velocity

Inputs

obj - the sensor object

Outputs

readVal - the 3 angular velocity values

timestamp - timestamp when read

: [readings, overrun] = read(obj)

: [accel, gyro, mag, timestamp, overrun] = read(obj)

Read the sensor data

Inputs

obj - the sensor object

Outputs

accel - acceleration reading from sensor.

gyro - angular acceleration reading from sensor.

timestamp - timestamp when read

overrun - overrun flag.

readings - table structure with fields for Timestamp, Acceleration, AngularVelocity.

: inf = info(obj)

Read the sensor info

Inputs

obj - the sensor object

Outputs

inf - structure containing the sensor information.

Structure fields are:
