Hello, There are a lot of libraries around for the MPU60x0. Searching on GitHub I found 374 of them (see: Search · mpu6050 arduino · GitHub ). Maybe someone went through the hassle of try some of them and can suggest me a good one? I need just basic sensor fusion/AHRS algorithms

The MPU-6050 and -9250 are obsolete and discontinued, so there is no point in putting much effort into a new project using either.

jremington: The MPU-6050 and -9250 are obsolete and discontinued, so there is no point in putting much effort into a new project using either. What chip/board do you suggest to use instead of these?

Pololu keeps up with the state of the art. The MinIMU-9 sensors are more sensitive, more stable and less noisy than the Invensense devices.

Actually I also read that the MPU60x0 are obsolete (for example: Invensense MPU-6000 now obsolete ) I don't know if there is an official source. I am also willing to change chip, in the past i wasn't very luckly with the inversense, this LSM6DS33 seems interesting, polou provides also a library ( Git…

Digikey is showing them on the way out. https://www.digikey.com/products/en/sensors-transducers/motion-sensors-imus-inertial-measurement-units/567?k=mpu6050 (forum might add extra characters to the start and end of that) They still have 2809 available for purchase. Quite a few at Mouser also ht…

I wan't able to find the LSM6DS33 but only the LSM6DS3. From the manufacter actually they seems the same part, except for the size: [image] MEMS and Sensors - STMicroelectronics ST's sensor portfolio includes MEMS, sensor hubs, environmental and temperature sensors, microphones, touch a…

Hey guys, I agree with using another part instead of the MPU options. TDK InvenSense has some much better 6 and 9 axis options. ICM-20948 - 9 axis https://invensense.tdk.com/products/motion-tracking/9-axis/icm-20948/ ICM-42605 - 6 axis (newest chip) https://invensense.tdk.com/products/motion-tra…

these doesn't seem to be easily available :slight_smile:

Consider the AltIMU-9 modules from Pololu. They are well made, supported by the company engineers, and up to date. Working AHRS algorithms are available, including the Madgwick/Mahony fusion filter .

anyone experienced with MPU6050?

I'm not happy with the situation, either. You might use the simple one from Adafruit - it's in the arduino library - or get one with DMP code (just search on github)
