Lesson 51: Ultimate Pitch and Roll Gadget Using the MPU6050

This tutorial covers creating a precise tilt meter using the MPU6050 sensor and Raspberry Pi Pico W:

  • Setup: Connect the MPU6050 and OLED 1306 to the Raspberry Pi Pico W.

  • Challenges: Accelerometer data is noisy, and gyroscope data drifts over time.

  • Solution: Use a complementary filter to combine accelerometer and gyroscope data, with error correction for steady state errors.

  • Implementation: Initialize sensors and OLED. Collect and filter data, displaying tilt as both a bubble level and degree readout on the OLED.

  • Demonstration: Test for stable pitch and roll readings, with portable battery-powered operation.

  • Additional Improvements: Consider wireless monitoring or creating a 3D-printed case for portability.
