I'm not a motion engineer by any sttretch of the imagination. I'm a network test engineer, that just likes to mess around with some things on the side.
And now its with tye accelerometer in the mpu6050. I want to be able to determine and control a swinging arm.
The module will be set probably near the end of the to determine most travel.
I'm just starting out and using the mpu6050 with a Raspberry Pi and TCL scripting language with TCL PIIO library.
I found some basic dump script to see if i could actually talk to the thing, and got that to work pretty easily.
Now moving on to more precise reading from the module.
And for the life of me i don't understand how i get fluctuations in the readings, with the module just sitting on my table.
I'm assuming it is because i'm just using the default settings and not tweaked for more precise motion, however i don't know for sure.
So that's why i'm here, lol
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
