Motion sensor MPU6050 with TinkerPie
A second accelerometer + gyroscope you can mount anywhere, for example on a robot arm.
| Type | Smart sensors (I2C) |
|---|---|
| Connect to | SENSOR port · 0x68 |
| Gives | milli-g and °/s |
| Simulator | Yes: a control appears under the simulated board |
How to wire it
Plug into any SENSOR 1-4 port (SDA, SCL, 3.3 V, GND). Each type has a fixed I2C address, so different types can share the bus.
Code
In blocks: Accessories category in TinkerPie Studio. As code:
// JavaScript
sensors.mpuAcceleration(Dimension.X)
sensors.mpuRotationRate(Dimension.Z)
// Arduino C++
sensors::mpuAcceleration(Dimension::X)
sensors::mpuRotationRate(Dimension::Z)
