Data pin are directly connected to digital pin number GPIO24, GPIO25, GPIO8, and GPIO7. LCD’s RS, RW, and EN are directly connected to GPIO18, and 23 of raspberry pi. SCL and SDA pins of MPU6050 is connected with Raspberry’s physical pin 3(GPIO2) and pin 5 (GPIO3). In connection with MPU6050, we have done 4 connections in which we have connected the 3.3v power supply and ground of MPU6050 to the 3.3v and ground of Raspberry Pi. A 10k pot is used for controlling the brightness of the LCD. The circuit diagram, for interfacing MPU6050 with Raspberry Pi, is very simple here we have used an LCD and MPU6050. In this project, we have first shown temperature value over LCD and after some time we show gyro values and then after some time we have accelerometer readings as shown in the images below: If you are new to Raspberry Pi then go through our Raspberry Pi tutorials section and learn getting started with Raspberry Pi. In this article, we are showing temperature, gyro and accelerometer readings over LCD using MPU6050 with Raspberry Pi. We have previously interfaced MPU6050 with Arduino. INT:- Interrupt pin for indication of data ready. XCL:- This is sensor I2C SCL clock line for configuring and reading from external sensors ((optional) not used in our case)ĪDO:- I2C Slave Address LSB (not applicable in our case) XDA:- This is sensor I2C SDA Data line for configuring and reading from external sensors ((optional) not used in our case) SDA:-SDA pin is used for data between controller and mpu6050 module Vcc:- this pin is used for powering the MPU6050 module with respect to ground Almost all the pins are multi-functioning but here we are proceeding only with I2C mode pins. This module works on I2C serial communication by default but it can be configured for SPI interface by configuring it register. MPU-6050 is an 8 pin 6 axis gyro and accelerometer in a single chip. Today in this article we are going to Interface this MPU6050 with Raspberry Pi and showing the values over 16x2 LCD. It is also called Gyroscope or Triple axis accelerometer. This is a very useful device for many applications like drones, robots, motion sensors. This MPU6050 module is a compact chip having both accelerometer and gyro.

It has an I2C interface to communicate with the host controller. This module is capable to capture x, y and z channel at the same time. This module is very accurate while converting analog values to digital because it has a 16bit analog to digital converter hardware for each channel. It consists a MEMS accelerometer, a MEMS gyro, and temperature sensor. The MPU6050 sensor has many functions over the single chip.
