Connecting MPU6500 accelerometer to UNO

Other Hardware Sensors
1

Hi all,
I have a personal project with an Arduino Uno from a Makeblock kit that uses an MPU6500 accelerometer.
I’ve previously used an MMA8452Q accelerometer, so I tried connecting the MPU6500 the same way as the MMA8452Q, but it didn’t work.

Here are all the components I have:

Thanks for your precious help! :slight_smile:

Well the pinouts are different so how could you possibly connect them the same way?

Sorry "in the same way" is a bad translation from my native language (french)

So here is what I have done :

mCORE MPU6500
VCC VCC
GND GND
SCL SCL
SDA SDA

And the I2C scanner from arduino framework doesn't found the sensor.
But the MPU6500 has 10 pins : VCC, GND, SDA, SCL, EDA, ECL, AD0, INT, NCS, FSYNC.

A logic level shifter is required for all I/O connections when using 3.3V sensors with 5V Arduinos.

Can you please post a copy of your circuit, a picture of a hand drawn circuit in jpg, png?
Hand drawn and photographed is perfectly acceptable.
Please include ALL hardware, power supplies, component names and pin labels.
