How to Connect an Accelerometer with Arduino Circuit Diagram In this article, we are going to interface the GY-521 accelerometer with Arduino. The GY-521 has an InvenSense MPU6050 chip which contains a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyro meter. This makes it a 6 DOF IMU (6 degrees of freedom inertial measurement unit). The chip also includes a 16-bit analog to digital converter on each
In this tutorial we will learn how to use the MPU6050 Accelerometer and Gyroscope sensor with the Arduino. I will explain how the MPU6050 works and
Accelerometer to Arduino Circuit Diagram
In this article, we will use an Arduino to get raw sensor data from an accelerometer and convert it into an acceleration value in g's. Watch the video for this tutorial here:
How to use the MPU-6050 accelerometer and gyroscope module with the Arduino board. The MPU-6050 IMU is a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope sensor. The accelerometer uses very little current, so it can be plugged into your board and run directly off of the output from the digital output pins. To do this, you'll use three of the analog input pins as digital I/O pins, for power and ground to the accelerometer, and for the self-test pin. Learn how to use accelerometers with Arduino, how to connect them, code examples and configuration of modules such as the MPU6050 and ADXL345.
How to Interface ADXL345 Accelerometer with Arduino UNO Circuit Diagram
Simple Hookup This example will use an Arduino Uno to collect and interpret the sensor data from the ADXL337 or ADXL377. Since the sensors' outputs are analog, all we need are three wires between the Arduino's 'Analog In' pins and accelerometer (aside from power and ground).
Testing ADXL345 accelerometer Arduino Interfacing Finally, connect the ADXL345 sensor with Arduino UNO properly and upload the code in the Arduino Uno board. Then open Serial monitor and you will see acceleration readings in x, y, z-axis as shown below. Try to move the sensor slowly in all the directions and observe the readings. So this is how an Accelerometer can be used with Arduino UNO to
