I am trying to use an MPU6050 with an ESP32 (SDA = GPIO21, SCL = GPIO22, VCC = 3.3V, GND = GND).
When I run the I2C Scanner, it detects the sensor at 0x68, but when I try to use the Adafruit_MPU6050 library, mpu.begin() fails with ‘Failed to find MPU6050 chip!’
I also tried a minimal Wire test and got ‘Error code 5’.

Un bellissimo progetto, inoltre spiegato molto molto bene.
Un informazione vorrei legare questo ad un servo, impiego giroscopio per aereo RC.
Magari qualcuno lo ha gia fatto, ma uno spunto per un controllo posizione con esp.

In reply to sirous. I had this problem. In the end it had nothing to do with the address. I forgot I was using a Nodemcu 32 board and the pinouts are different than the esp32 board shown in the circuit shown here. Once I connected up correctly it worked Just fine.

Beautiful project! Do you think it can be the basis for building a system that calculates the bend angle of the moving bike while riding through a curve? Thanks

Hello and thank you for this perfect tutorial!
I have a question. How can I receive the plot related to MPU-6050 data on the webserver page that this project brought numeric data and the 3D movement of the sensor?
I would be glad if someone could answer this for me causze I’m a new learner.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Failed to find MPU6050 chip – I have the same error with THIS (adafruit) library

With MPU6050 lib by Electronic Cats – I can run example sketch in 1 click

device ID from i2c scanner is the same 0x68

Could you or somebody else make this sketch based on Electronic Cats MPU6050 lib?

Adafruit_MPU6050 mpu;
Adafruit_SSD1306 display = Adafruit_SSD1306(128, 32, &Wire);

Change your Code for this Line. It will look as you like it.

Hello, tutorial is very informative and each and every step you explained verywell.
Wanted to know in above 1)How I can get MPU6050 readings on mobile2) How I can connect ESP32 remotely with the PC/mobile app and MPU 6050 remotely with ESP32. Can you please let me know.
