Measuring bank angles with the MPU6050 and Raspberry Pi - The introduction and hardware requirements
What this blog is about : The following series of blog entries will describe how to measure bank angles on a motorcycle using a raspber ry pi and the MPU6 050 circuit board as hardware and python as software language. The entries will cover the practic al approach on how to w rite a sma ll set of routines, that allow you to use the hardware on a motorcycle and how to p ostprocess and evaluate them. It does not cover the complete theoretical b ackground of the measurement principles or the basic software c oding ideas of subfunctions, interrupts and hardware readout . Other blogs, w hich I will refer to throughout this series, cover this way better. To sum it up - I focus on the combination of different ideas and their practical application, found in other blogs. I think it mi ght be some helpful advice or at least a small manual on which mistakes to avoid . The motivation and putting some thoughts into order: A good friend of mine loves to ride motorcycles and as he ...
