I am quite new to all the arduino stuff and right now I am struggling with a Problem that seems to be easy, but I have honestly no idea how to deal with it.
I would like to read the data from a gyroscop and transmit the raw values via bluetooth to another device.
I am using the arduino uno r3 (it should be quite new since I bought it yesterday), the famous MPU-6050 Gyro-GY521 and for bluetooth De-HC-06BT.
I could already manage to assemble everything and send the data via bluetooth. To read the data from the gyro I am using the famous library MPU6050, which comes with some examples and seems to be the de facto standard for this.
The whole script is based on the MPU6050_DMP6 example and utilizes a SoftwareSerial to transmit the data.
Unfortunatly has two major issues:
It just stops to send data after some time (~2 Minutes) and a restart makes it send again.
It prints FIFO Overflow ~ each 20th frame, so I guess there is an ongoing failure which might stop the system.
If anybody could give some hint how to solve the »FIFO-« and »Breakdownissue« I would be very glad and I appreciate any kind of help!
Thanks in Ahead!
