I know it works as I have tried it but this is meant for people just beginning with the 6050 and maybe also Arduino and ESP8266, these little things could confuse beginners easily.

Thank you very much for your great work, I am a follower of your emails.
I have built the system with the Adafruit libraries, and it does not work with other libraries.
The error is that it does not recognize the chip, it was purchased in China, when searching for its address it answers correctly with 0x68
It seems that the Adafruit libraries do another calculation for a magic number 0x71 in my case

I attach the URL that solved my problem.

With NoceMCU on 3V output it works but does not work with D1 Mini Pro, it does not work on 3V output 5V is necessary

Could you tell me your opinion?

No luck yet :/ I’ve found a library that works like 50% of the time, I think its MPU6050_light. What sensor are you using (as in exactly what sensor) wondering if we’ve got it from the same manufactuerer. I’ll update if I get it fixed!

Hello! Did you manage to solve it? I’m also having issues. My Wemos D1 isn’t detecting the MPU sensor when performing the I2C scan. Sometimes I get faulty data outputs with meaningless characters.

Having issues with this- it doesn’t seem to be recognising my sensor, despite it showing up on an I2C scan, it working with an Uno, and it working sometimes with another library (50% of time time it outputs correct data, the other 50% of the time it just outputs 0’s)

Do you have any solutions?
Thanks 🙂

Thanks again.

Hi.
Unfortunately, we don’t have any tutorial about that.
Regards,
Sara
