I have a MPU6050 6 axis gyro and accelerometer connected to a Arduino Nano via the i2c bus. I'm using the I2Cdev library. For the most part this works great. However I want to make by software work better in the event of hardware failure. If something were to happen to the gyro I want the rest of the application to continue to function a sensible way.
The problem I have is that if the gyro is not connected then the initialise doesn't return. I traced this to the readbytes function in the I2Cdev library and a call to Wire.endTransmission. Looking at the reference page for Wire.endTransmission I would expect to get a error code back.
Does anyboday else have any experience with this?
Cheers
Alex
