mpu6050

A Python module for accessing the MPU-6050 digital accelerometer and gyroscope on a Raspberry Pi.

Example

Assuming that the address of your MPU-6050 is 0x68, you can read read accelerometer data like this:

>>> from mpu6050 import mpu6050

>>> sensor = mpu6050(0x68)

>>> accelerometer_data = sensor.get_accel_data()

Dependencies

• smbus-cffi

You can either install smbus-cffi using pip or install the python-smbus package using apt. If you don't install the smbus-cffi package but instead use the python-smbus package via apt, you need to remove the following line from the setup.py file:

install_requires=['smbus-cffi']

Installation

1. pip install from PyPi

pip install mpu6050-raspberrypi

2. Clone the repository and run setup.py

git clone https://github.com/Tijndagamer/mpu6050.git
