Lesson 42: Measuring Tilt With an MPU6050 Accelerometer

This tutorial covers using the MPU6050 sensor with the Raspberry Pi Pico W to measure and calculate tilt angles:

• Introduction: Measuring acceleration in X, Y, and Z axes with MPU6050, and setting up hardware and software.

• Previous Lesson Recap: Recap of measuring accelerations and homework on tilt calculation.

• Z-Axis Acceleration: Explains 1G acceleration in the Z-axis due to gravity and tilt effects on readings.

• Calculating Tilt Angles: Uses trigonometry to derive tilt equations (pitch and roll) and implements in Python.

• Practical Application: Tests code for tilt accuracy and homework to refine pitch and roll measurements.

• Conclusion: Emphasizes understanding concepts over using libraries, and encourages support via Patreon.
