Lesson 43: Measure Pitch and Roll Using a 3 Axis Accelerometer

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

  • Setup: Connect the MPU6050 to the Raspberry Pi Pico W using the provided schematic and code.

  • Trigonometry for Tilt Measurement: Use trigonometric functions to calculate pitch and roll from accelerometer data.

  • Coding: Implement and test the calculations in Python to ensure accurate pitch and roll measurements.

  • Homework: Find an orientation where X, Y, and Z accelerations read 0G simultaneously and share the solution.
