ESP8266 Community Forum

Is there anyone who connects the accelerometer MPU6050 to ESP8266 via I2C?
I have success with SSD1306 display, but MPU6050 is really hard

Hi !

I also want to connect the MPU6050 to the ESP8266.
As I'm just starting with the ESP can you explain how you connected the MPU to the ESP ?

Many thanks in advance !

I have some MPU6050 units lying around, and some ESP8266 units in the mail. I might try to connect them together.

There is a library for Arduino, this guy has done the hard work of figuring out all the relevant bytes to send.

My plan for now is to use the nodemcu api for i2c, and translate some parts of the Arduino library to a lua library for the esp8266. That library contains multitudes of options, I'll focus on the handful of basics that I need.

If other people are interested, we could perhaps work together. Naturally, I am open to suggestions for a different approach.

Hi,

did you have any luck with this?
I'll try to look into it when I get to it
