Lesson 48: Measuring Rotation Using the Gyros on the MPU6050

This tutorial covers using the MPU6050 sensor with the Raspberry Pi Pico W to create a stable tilt meter by combining accelerometer and gyroscope data:

  • Setup: Connect the MPU6050 to the Raspberry Pi Pico W.

  • Concept: Measure tilt using accelerometer and gyroscope data, addressing noise and drift.

  • Low-Pass Filter: Apply to smooth accelerometer data and reduce noise.

  • Gyroscope Integration: Use rotational velocity to calculate and update pitch, roll, and yaw.

  • Combining Data: Fuse accelerometer and gyroscope data to minimize errors.

  • Homework: Implement and fine-tune the method for stable tilt measurement.
