Detailed MPU6050 Tutorial

Learn how an MPU measures orientation. Hide Jeff Rowberg's complex library behind a simple and easy to use interface. Fix Jeff's flawed conversion from quaternion to yaw pitch and roll. Learn how to save calibration results to EEPROM so that you don't have to calibrate every time you power on. Overhaul the current animation process.
