MPU6050 Questions

By tuurbo46 , 7 January 2016

Hi All,

I have my mpu6050 up and running but I am struggling on some of the terminology. I have added a few questions below:

1) What do you mean by sketch, when talking about calibration?

2) MPU, I am guessing this is the mpu6050 unit?

3) DMP, im not sure on this one?

4) Also, I have written my own calibration functions, that read in the raw data, smoothing this data, then add an offset. This is all on my microcontroller. Reading some of the comments, are people uploading the offsets to the mpu6050. Or are all offsets and calculations on the microcontroller?

5) Also what is meant by when you say divide the gyro by 4, and the accel by 7.8, when talking about calibration?

6) Lastly is it possible to set a limit on the gyro/ accel reading and then fire the interrupt from this reading. So if gyro for example goes above 1000 on either x, y or z, the interrupt will fire?

Many Thanks in advance.
