MPU 6050 interface
The Majority of the work over the last few days has been with trying to interface the MPU6050 with the arduino DUE.
This has been done by using the arduino Wire library. Other help was found from this article, and the data sheets for the MPU.
Difficulties are still being had with the interface, with the simple example code onoly returning 0's over the serial out put, suggesting the mpu is still in sleep mode. When attempting to run a version of the more complex example code, the MPU was outputting an oscilitary reponse as shown below.
It currently seems unsure of how to progress with this, as all the physical connections are in order and have been checked with a DMM. The next step might be to try and test it with a 'Scope.
Progress has also been slowed due to a delivery from 'protopic' has been delayed by over a week, which contains the motor drivers and various other essential components for a full electronic assembly.
