I would like to use my MPU6050 together with my ESP32. (Link to the specific ESP Board)
It is not the first time for me using the MPU6050. I used it before in a project with an Arduino Uno and the MPU6050_light.h library. That worked perfectly. Now i'm trying it with my new ESP32.
I tried the MPU6050_light and Adafruit MPU6050 libraries but the first returns
MPU6050 status: 2
and the last throws the error:
Failed to find MPU6050 chip
The wires are definitely correct:
I used an I2C scanner to check if the MPU is found and what adress it has.
And that worked too. It is the standart adress 0x68
.
I observed that when I pull out one wire and than connecting it again, the found adress changes to 0x69
.
So the MPU was found. Has anyone any idea what could be the solution to my problem?
Code with MPU6050_light.h
#include <Arduino.h>
#include <MPU6050_light.h>
#include "Wire.h"
MPU6050 mpu(Wire);
long angle = 0;
unsigned long timer = 0;
void gyroSetUp()
{
byte status = mpu.begin();
Serial.print("MPU6050 status: ");
Serial.println(status);
while (status != 0)
{
} // stop everything if could not connect to MPU6050
Serial.println("Calculating offsets, do not move MPU6050");
delay(1000);
mpu.calcOffsets(true, true); // gyro and accelero
Serial.println("Done!\n");
}
void PrintAngles()
{
Serial.print("X: ");
Serial.print(mpu.getAngleX());
Serial.print("\tY: ");
Serial.print(mpu.getAngleY());
Serial.print("\tZ: ");
Serial.print(mpu.getAngleZ());
Serial.print("\n");
}
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println("Starting");
Wire.begin();
gyroSetUp();
}
void loop()
{
mpu.update();
if ((millis() - timer) > 1000)
{
PrintAngles();
timer = millis();
}
}

}
I found the root of the problem.
solution: Adafruit_MPU6050.h
#define MPU6050_DEVICE_ID 0x68 ///< The correct MPU6050_WHO_AM_I value
this "0x68" must be changed to 0x98
ONLY in this line
NOT here :
#define MPU6050_I2CADDR_DEFAULT \
0x68 ///< MPU6050 default i2c address w/ AD0 high
it must stay the same 0x68
