MPU6050

Minimal Node.js module for reading the raw data from an MPU6050.

This module has been tested on a BeagleBone Black and a Raspberry PI 3B+.

Install

npm install mpu6050

• getFullScaleGyroRange(callback(err, data))
• setFullScaleGyroRange(range)
• getFullScaleAccelRange(callback(err, data))
• setFullScaleRange(range)
• getAcceleration(callback(err, data))
• getMotion6(callback(err, data))
• getRotation(callback(err, data))

Usage

var mpu6050 = require('mpu6050');

// Instantiate and initialize.
var mpu = new mpu6050();
mpu.initialize();

// Test the connection before using.
mpu.testConnection(function(err, testPassed) {
  if (testPassed) {
    mpu.getMotion6(function(err, data){
      console.log(data);
    });
    // Put the MPU6050 back to sleep.
    mpu.setSleepEnabled(1);
  }
});
