CircuitPython helper library for the MPU6050 6-axis Accelerometer and Gyroscope

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython
• Bus Device
• Register

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-mpu6050

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-mpu6050

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name python3 -m venv .env source .env/bin/activate pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-mpu6050

import time import board import busio import adafruit_mpu6050 i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA) mpu = adafruit_mpu6050.MPU6050(i2c) while True: print("Acceleration: X:%.2f, Y: %.2f, Z: %.2f m/s^2"%(mpu.acceleration)) print("Gyro X:%.2f, Y: %.2f, Z: %.2f degrees/s"%(mpu.gyro)) print("Temperature: %.2f C"%mpu.temperature) print("") time.sleep(1)
