Function documentation

MPU6050::MPU6050(I2Cdev& i2cDev)

Parameters
i2cDev the i2c device

Create the device.

Default constructor, uses default I2C address.

MPU6050::MPU6050(uint8_t address, I2Cdev& i2cDev)

Parameters
address I2C address
i2cDev the i2c device

Create the device with an i2c bus address.

Specific address constructor.

void MPU6050::ReadRegister(uint8_t reg, uint8_t* data, uint8_t len)

Parameters
reg device register
data output
len read bytes

Read from a register.

void MPU6050::initialize()

Initialize the device.

Power on and prepare for general usage. This will activate the device and take it out of sleep mode (which must be done after start-up). This function also sets both the accelerometer and the gyroscope to their most sensitive settings, namely +/- 2g and +/- 250 degrees/sec, and sets the clock source to use the X Gyro for reference, which is slightly better than the default internal clock source.

bool MPU6050::testConnection()

Returns if the device is connected

Test device is working properly.

Verify the I2C connection. Make sure the device is connected and responds as expected.

uint8_t MPU6050::getAuxVDDIOLevel()

Returns aux vdd io level

AUX_VDDIO register.

Get the auxiliary I2C supply voltage level. When set to 1, the auxiliary I2C bus high logic level is VDD. When cleared to 0, the auxiliary I2C bus high logic level is VLOGIC. This does not apply to the MPU-6000, which does not have a VLOGIC pin.

void MPU6050::setAuxVDDIOLevel(uint8_t level)

Parameters
level I2C supply voltage level (0=VLOGIC, 1=VDD)

Set AUX_VDDIO register.

Set the auxiliary I2C supply voltage level. When set to 1, the auxiliary I2C bus high logic level is VDD. When cleared to 0, the auxiliary I2C bus high logic level is VLOGIC. This does not apply to the MPU-6000, which does not have a VLOGIC pin.

uint8_t MPU6050::getRate()

Returns the rate

SMPLRT_DIV register.

Get gyroscope output rate divider. The sensor register output, FIFO output, DMP sampling, Motion detection, Zero Motion detection, and Free Fall detection are all based on the Sample Rate. The Sample Rate is generated by dividing the gyroscope output rate by SMPLRT_DIV:

Sample Rate = Gyroscope Output Rate / (1 + SMPLRT_DIV)

where Gyroscope Output Rate = 8kHz when the DLPF is disabled (DLPF_CFG = 0 or 7), and 1kHz when the DLPF is enabled (see Register 26).

Note: The accelerometer output rate is 1kHz. This means that for a Sample Rate greater than 1kHz, the same accelerometer sample may be output to the FIFO, DMP, and sensor registers more than once.

For a diagram of the gyroscope and accelerometer signal paths, see Section 8 of the MPU-6000/MPU-6050 Product Specification document.

void MPU6050::setRate(uint8_t rate)

Parameters
rate New sample rate divider

SMPLRT_DIV register.

Set gyroscope sample rate divider.

uint8_t MPU6050::getExternalFrameSync()

Returns frame sync

The external frame sync.

Get external FSYNC configuration. Configures the external Frame Synchronization (FSYNC) pin sampling. An external signal connected to the FSYNC pin can be sampled by configuring EXT_SYNC_SET. Signal changes to the FSYNC pin are latched so that short strobes may be captured. The latched FSYNC signal will be sampled at the Sampling Rate, as defined in register 25. After sampling, the latch will reset to the current FSYNC signal state.

The sampled value will be reported in place of the least significant bit in a sensor data register determined by the value of EXT_SYNC_SET according to the following table.

EXT_SYNC_SET | FSYNC Bit Location
-------------+-------------------
0            | Input disabled
1            | TEMP_OUT_L[0]
2            | GYRO_XOUT_L[0]
3            | GYRO_YOUT_L[0]
4            | GYRO_ZOUT_L[0]
5            | ACCEL_XOUT_L[0]
6            | ACCEL_YOUT_L[0]
7            | ACCEL_ZOUT_L[0]

void MPU6050::setExternalFrameSync(uint8_t sync)

Parameters
sync New FSYNC configuration value

Set the external frame sync.

Set external FSYNC configuration.

uint8_t MPU6050::getDLPFMode()

Returns DLPF mode

Return the DLPF mode.

Get digital low-pass filter configuration. The DLPF_CFG parameter sets the digital low pass filter configuration. It also determines the internal sampling rate used by the device as shown in the table below.

Note: The accelerometer output rate is 1kHz. This means that for a Sample Rate greater than 1kHz, the same accelerometer sample may be output to the FIFO, DMP, and sensor registers more than once.

         |   ACCELEROMETER    |           GYROSCOPE

void MPU6050::setDLPFMode(uint8_t bandwidth)

Parameters
bandwidth dlpf

Set DLPF mode.

Set digital low-pass filter configuration.

uint8_t MPU6050::getFullScaleGyroRange()

Returns gyro range

Full scale gyro range.

Get full-scale gyroscope range. The FS_SEL parameter allows setting the full-scale range of the gyro sensors, as described in the table below.

0 = +/- 250 degrees/sec
1 = +/- 500 degrees/sec
2 = +/- 1000 degrees/sec

uint8_t MPU6050::getDHPFMode()

Returns Current high-pass filter configuration

Get the high-pass filter configuration. The DHPF is a filter module in the path leading to motion detectors (Free Fall, Motion threshold, and Zero Motion). The high pass filter output is not available to the data registers (see Figure in Section 8 of the MPU-6000/ MPU-6050 Product Specification document).

The high pass filter has three modes:

   Reset: The filter output settles to zero within one sample. This
          effectively disables the high pass filter. This mode may be toggled
          to quickly settle the filter.
   On:    The high pass filter will pass signals above the cut off frequency.
   Hold:  When triggered, the filter holds the present sample. The filter
          output will be the difference between the input sample and the held
          sample.
ACCEL_HPF | Filter Mode | Cut-off Frequency
----------+-------------+------------------
0         | Reset       | None
1         | On          | 5Hz

Free Fall is detected when the absolute value of the accelerometer measurements for the three axes are each less than the detection threshold. This condition increments the Free Fall duration counter (Register 30). The Free Fall interrupt is triggered when the Free Fall duration counter reaches the time specified in FF_DUR.

For more details on the Free Fall detection interrupt, see Section 8.2 of the MPU-6000/MPU-6050 Product Specification document as well as Registers 56 and 58 of this document.

uint8_t MPU6050::getMotionDetectionThreshold()

Returns Current motion detection acceleration threshold value (LSB = 2mg)

Get motion detection event acceleration threshold. This register configures the detection threshold for Motion interrupt generation. The unit of MOT_THR is 1LSB = 2mg. Motion is detected when the absolute value of any of the accelerometer measurements exceeds this Motion detection threshold. This condition increments the Motion detection duration counter (Register 32). The Motion detection interrupt is triggered when the Motion Detection counter reaches the time count specified in MOT_DUR (Register 32).

The Motion interrupt will indicate the axis and polarity of detected motion in MOT_DETECT_STATUS (Register 97).

For more details on the Motion detection interrupt, see Section 8.3 of the MPU-6000/MPU-6050 Product Specification document as well as Registers 56 and 58 of this document.

uint8_t MPU6050::getZeroMotionDetectionThreshold()

Returns Current zero motion detection acceleration threshold value (LSB = 2mg)

Get zero motion detection event acceleration threshold. This register configures the detection threshold for Zero Motion interrupt generation. The unit of ZRMOT_THR is 1LSB = 2mg. Zero Motion is detected when the absolute value of the accelerometer measurements for the 3 axes are each less than the detection threshold. This condition increments the Zero Motion duration counter (Register 34). The Zero Motion interrupt is triggered when the Zero Motion duration counter reaches the time count specified in ZRMOT_DUR (Register 34).

Unlike Free Fall or Motion detection, Zero Motion detection triggers an interrupt both when Zero Motion is first detected and when Zero Motion is no longer detected.

When a zero motion event is detected, a Zero Motion Status will be indicated in the MOT_DETECT_STATUS register (Register 97). When a motion-to-zero-motion condition is detected, the status bit is set to 1. When a zero-motion-to- motion condition is detected, the status bit is set to 0.

For more details on the Zero Motion detection interrupt, see Section 8.4 of the MPU-6000/MPU-6050 Product Specification document as well as Registers 56 and 58 of this document.

uint8_t MPU6050::getSlaveAddress(uint8_t num)

Parameters
num Slave number (0-3)
Returns Current address for specified slave

Get the I2C address of the specified slave (0-3). Note that Bit 7 (MSB) controls read/write mode. If Bit 7 is set, it's a read operation, and if it is cleared, then it's a write operation. The remaining bits (6-0) are the 7-bit device address of the slave device.

In read mode, the result of the read is placed in the lowest available EXT_SENS_DATA register. For further information regarding the allocation of read results, please refer to the EXT_SENS_DATA register description (Registers 73 - 96).

The MPU-6050 supports a total of five slaves, but Slave 4 has unique characteristics, and so it has its own functions (getSlave4* and setSlave4*).

I2C data transactions are performed at the Sample Rate, as defined in Register 25. The user is responsible for ensuring that I2C data transactions to and from each enabled Slave can be completed within a single period of the Sample Rate.

The I2C slave access rate can be reduced relative to the Sample Rate. This reduced access rate is determined by I2C_MST_DLY (Register 52). Whether a slave's access rate is reduced relative to the Sample Rate is determined by I2C_MST_DELAY_CTRL (Register 103).

The processing order for the slaves is fixed. The sequence followed for processing the slaves is Slave 0, Slave 1, Slave 2, Slave 3 and Slave 4. If a particular Slave is disabled it will be skipped.

Each slave can either be accessed at the sample rate or at a reduced sample rate. In a case where some slaves are accessed at the Sample Rate and some slaves are accessed at the reduced rate, the sequence of accessing the slaves (Slave 0 to Slave 4) is still followed. However, the reduced rate slaves will be skipped if their access rate dictates that they should not be accessed during that particular cycle. For further information regarding the reduced access rate, please refer to Register 52. Whether a slave is accessed at the Sample Rate or at the reduced rate is determined by the Delay Enable bits in Register 103.

Get 3-axis accelerometer readings. These registers store the most recent accelerometer measurements. Accelerometer measurements are written to these registers at the Sample Rate as defined in Register 25.

The accelerometer measurement registers, along with the temperature measurement registers, gyroscope measurement registers, and external sensor data registers, are composed of two sets of registers: an internal register set and a user-facing read register set.

The data within the accelerometer sensors' internal register set is always updated at the Sample Rate. Meanwhile, the user-facing read register set duplicates the internal register set's data values whenever the serial interface is idle. This guarantees that a burst read of sensor registers will read measurements from the same sampling instant. Note that if burst reads are not used, the user is responsible for ensuring a set of single byte reads correspond to a single sampling instant by checking the Data Ready interrupt.

Each 16-bit accelerometer measurement has a full scale defined in ACCEL_FS (Register 28). For each full scale setting, the accelerometers' sensitivity per LSB in ACCEL_xOUT is shown in the table below:

AFS_SEL | Full Scale Range | LSB Sensitivity
--------+------------------+----------------
0       | +/- 2g           | 8192 LSB/mg
1       | +/- 4g           | 4096 LSB/mg
2       | +/- 8g           | 2048 LSB/mg

z 16-bit signed integer container for Z-axis rotation

Get 3-axis gyroscope readings. These gyroscope measurement registers, along with the accelerometer measurement registers, temperature measurement registers, and external sensor data registers, are composed of two sets of registers: an internal register set and a user-facing read register set. The data within the gyroscope sensors' internal register set is always updated at the Sample Rate. Meanwhile, the user-facing read register set duplicates the internal register set's data values whenever the serial interface is idle. This guarantees that a burst read of sensor registers will read measurements from the same sampling instant. Note that if burst reads are not used, the user is responsible for ensuring a set of single byte reads correspond to a single sampling instant by checking the Data Ready interrupt.

Each 16-bit gyroscope measurement has a full scale defined in FS_SEL (Register 27). For each full scale setting, the gyroscopes' sensitivity per LSB in GYRO_xOUT is shown in the table below:

FS_SEL | Full Scale Range   | LSB Sensitivity
-------+--------------------+----------------
0      | +/- 250 degrees/s  | 131 LSB/deg/s
1      | +/- 500 degrees/s  | 65.5 LSB/deg/s

uint8_t MPU6050::getExternalSensorByte(int position)

Parameters
position Starting position (0-23)
Returns Byte read from register

Read single byte from external sensor data register. These registers store data read from external sensors by the Slave 0, 1, 2, and 3 on the auxiliary I2C interface. Data read by Slave 4 is stored in I2C_SLV4_DI (Register 53).

External sensor data is written to these registers at the Sample Rate as defined in Register 25. This access rate can be reduced by using the Slave Delay Enable registers (Register 103).

External sensor data registers, along with the gyroscope measurement registers, accelerometer measurement registers, and temperature measurement registers, are composed of two sets of registers: an internal register set and a user-facing read register set.

The data within the external sensors' internal register set is always updated at the Sample Rate (or the reduced access rate) whenever the serial interface is idle. This guarantees that a burst read of sensor registers will read measurements from the same sampling instant. Note that if burst reads are not used, the user is responsible for ensuring a set of single byte reads correspond to a single sampling instant by checking the Data Ready interrupt.

Data is placed in these external sensor data registers according to I2C_SLV0_CTRL, I2C_SLV1_CTRL, I2C_SLV2_CTRL, and I2C_SLV3_CTRL (Registers 39, 42, 45, and 48). When more than zero bytes are read (I2C_SLVx_LEN > 0) from an enabled slave (I2C_SLVx_EN = 1), the slave is read at the Sample Rate (as defined in Register 25) or delayed rate (if specified in Register 52 and 103). During each Sample cycle, slave reads are performed in order of Slave number. If all slaves are enabled with more than zero bytes to be read, the order will be Slave 0, followed by Slave 1, Slave 2, and Slave 3.

Each enabled slave will have EXT_SENS_DATA registers associated with it by number of bytes read (I2C_SLVx_LEN) in order of slave number, starting from EXT_SENS_DATA_00. Note that this means enabling or disabling a slave may change the higher numbered slaves' associated registers. Furthermore, if fewer total bytes are being read from the external sensors as a result of such a change, then the data remaining in the registers which no longer have an associated slave device (i.e. high numbered registers) will remain in these previously allocated registers unless reset.

If the sum of the read lengths of all SLVx transactions exceed the number of available EXT_SENS_DATA registers, the excess bytes will be dropped. There are 24 EXT_SENS_DATA registers and hence the total read lengths between all the slaves cannot be greater than 24 or some bytes will be lost.

Note: Slave 4's behavior is distinct from that of Slaves 0-3. For further information regarding the characteristics of Slave 4, please refer to Registers 49 to 53.

EXAMPLE: Suppose that Slave 0 is enabled with 4 bytes to be read (I2C_SLV0_EN = 1 and I2C_SLV0_LEN = 4) while Slave 1 is enabled with 2 bytes to be read so that I2C_SLV1_EN = 1 and I2C_SLV1_LEN = 2. In such a situation, EXT_SENS_DATA _00 through _03 will be associated with Slave 0, while EXT_SENS_DATA _04 and 05 will be associated with Slave 1. If Slave 2 is enabled as well, registers starting from EXT_SENS_DATA_06 will be allocated to Slave 2.

If Slave 2 is disabled while Slave 3 is enabled in this same situation, then registers starting from EXT_SENS_DATA_06 will be allocated to Slave 3 instead.

REGISTER ALLOCATION FOR DYNAMIC DISABLE VS. NORMAL DISABLE: If a slave is disabled at any time, the space initially allocated to the slave in the EXT_SENS_DATA register, will remain associated with that slave. This is to avoid dynamic adjustment of the register allocation.

The allocation of the EXT_SENS_DATA registers is recomputed only when (1) all slaves are disabled, or (2) the I2C_MST_RST bit is set (Register 106).

This above is also true if one of the slaves gets NACKed and stops functioning.

In this mode, only the serial interface and internal registers remain active, allowing for a very low standby current. Clearing this bit puts the device back into normal mode. To save power, the individual standby selections for each of the gyros should be used if any gyro axis is not used by the application.

void MPU6050::setSleepEnabled(bool enabled)

Parameters
enabled New sleep mode enabled status

Set sleep mode status.

bool MPU6050::getWakeCycleEnabled()

Returns Current sleep mode enabled status

Get wake cycle enabled status. When this bit is set to 1 and SLEEP is disabled, the MPU-60X0 will cycle between sleep mode and waking up to take a single sample of data from active sensors at a rate determined by LP_WAKE_CTRL (register 108).

void MPU6050::setWakeCycleEnabled(bool enabled)

Parameters
enabled New sleep mode enabled status

Set wake cycle enabled status.

bool MPU6050::getTempSensorEnabled()

Returns Current temperature sensor enabled status

Get temperature sensor enabled status. Control the usage of the internal temperature sensor.

Note: this register stores the disabled value, but for consistency with the rest of the code, the function is named and used with standard true/false values to indicate whether the sensor is enabled or disabled, respectively.

void MPU6050::setTempSensorEnabled(bool enabled)

Parameters
enabled New temperature sensor enabled status

Set temperature sensor enabled status. Note: this register stores the disabled value, but for consistency with the rest of the code, the function is named and used with standard true/false values to indicate whether the sensor is enabled or disabled, respectively.

uint8_t MPU6050::getClockSource()

Returns Current clock source setting

Get clock source setting.

void MPU6050::setClockSource(uint8_t source)

Parameters
source New clock source setting

Set clock source setting. An internal 8MHz oscillator, gyroscope based clock, or external sources can be selected as the MPU-60X0 clock source. When the internal 8 MHz oscillator or an external source is chosen as the clock source, the MPU-60X0 can operate in low power modes with the gyroscopes disabled.

Upon power up, the MPU-60X0 clock source defaults to the internal oscillator. However, it is highly recommended that the device be configured to use one of the gyroscopes (or an external clock source) as the clock reference for improved stability. The clock source can be selected according to the following table:

CLK_SEL | Clock Source
--------+--------------------------------------
0       | Internal oscillator
1       | PLL with X Gyro reference
2       | PLL with Y Gyro reference
3       | PLL with Z Gyro reference
4       | PLL with external 32.768kHz reference
5       | PLL with external 19.2MHz reference
6       | Reserved
7       | Stops the clock and keeps the timing generator in reset

uint8_t MPU6050::getWakeFrequency()

Returns Current wake frequency

Get wake frequency in Accel-Only Low Power Mode. The MPU-60X0 can be put into Accerlerometer Only Low Power Mode by setting PWRSEL to 1 in the Power Management 1 register (Register 107). In this mode, the device will power off all devices except for the primary I2C interface, waking only the accelerometer at fixed intervals to take a single measurement. The frequency of wake-ups can be configured with LP_WAKE_CTRL as shown below:

LP_WAKE_CTRL | Wake-up Frequency
-------------+------------------
0            | 1.25 Hz
1            | 2.5 Hz
2            | 5 Hz
3            | 10 Hz

For further information regarding the MPU-60X0's power modes, please refer to Register 107.

void MPU6050::setWakeFrequency(uint8_t frequency)

Parameters
frequency New wake frequency

Set wake frequency in Accel-Only Low Power Mode.

bool MPU6050::getStandbyXAccelEnabled()

Returns Current X-axis standby enabled status

Get X-axis accelerometer standby enabled status. If enabled, the X-axis will not gather or report data (or use power).

void MPU6050::setStandbyXAccelEnabled(bool enabled)

Set X-axis accelerometer standby enabled status.

bool MPU6050::getStandbyYAccelEnabled()

Returns Current Y-axis standby enabled status

Get Y-axis accelerometer standby enabled status. If enabled, the Y-axis will not gather or report data (or use power).

void MPU6050::setStandbyYAccelEnabled(bool enabled)

Set Y-axis accelerometer standby enabled status.

bool MPU6050::getStandbyZAccelEnabled()

Returns Current Z-axis standby enabled status

Get Z-axis accelerometer standby enabled status. If enabled, the Z-axis will not gather or report data (or use power).

void MPU6050::setStandbyZAccelEnabled(bool enabled)

Set Z-axis accelerometer standby enabled status.

bool MPU6050::getStandbyXGyroEnabled()

Returns Current X-axis standby enabled status

Get X-axis gyroscope standby enabled status. If enabled, the X-axis will not gather or report data (or use power).

void MPU6050::setStandbyXGyroEnabled(bool enabled)

Set X-axis gyroscope standby enabled status.

bool MPU6050::getStandbyYGyroEnabled()

void MPU6050::setStandbyYGyroEnabled(bool enabled)

Set Y-axis gyroscope standby enabled status.

bool MPU6050::getStandbyZGyroEnabled()

Returns Current Z-axis standby enabled status

Get Z-axis gyroscope standby enabled status. If enabled, the Z-axis will not gather or report data (or use power).

void MPU6050::setStandbyZGyroEnabled(bool enabled)

Set Z-axis gyroscope standby enabled status.

uint16_t MPU6050::getFIFOCount()

Returns Current FIFO buffer size

Get current FIFO buffer size. This value indicates the number of bytes stored in the FIFO buffer. This number is in turn the number of bytes that can be read from the FIFO buffer and it is directly proportional to the number of samples available given the set of sensor data bound to be stored in the FIFO (register 35 and 36).

uint8_t MPU6050::getFIFOByte()

Returns Byte from FIFO buffer

Get byte from FIFO buffer. This register is used to read and write data from the FIFO buffer. Data is written to the FIFO in order of register number (from lowest to highest). If all the FIFO enable flags (see below) are enabled and all External Sensor Data registers (Registers 73 to 96) are associated with a Slave device, the contents of registers 59 through 96 will be written in order at the Sample Rate.

The contents of the sensor data registers (Registers 59 to 96) are written into the FIFO buffer when their corresponding FIFO enable flags are set to 1 in FIFO_EN (Register 35). An additional flag for the sensor data registers associated with I2C Slave 3 can be found in I2C_MST_CTRL (Register 36).

If the FIFO buffer has overflowed, the status bit FIFO_OFLOW_INT is automatically set to 1. This bit is located in INT_STATUS (Register 58). When the FIFO buffer has overflowed, the oldest data will be lost and new data will be written to the FIFO.

If the FIFO buffer is empty, reading this register will return the last byte that was previously read from the FIFO until new data is available. The user should check FIFO_COUNT to ensure that the FIFO buffer is not read when empty.

void MPU6050::setFIFOByte(uint8_t data)

Write byte to FIFO buffer.

uint8_t MPU6050::getDeviceID()

Returns Device ID (6 bits only! should be 0x34)

void MPU6050::setDeviceID(uint8_t id)

Parameters
id New device ID to set.

Set Device ID. Write a new ID into the WHO_AM_I register (no idea why this should ever be necessary though).

void MPU6050::PID(uint8_t ReadAddress, float kP, float kI, uint8_t Loops)

Parameters
ReadAddress
kP
kI
Loops
