I2C - MPU6050 - jrowberg [solved]

Hi there,

I've got myself a GY-521 (MPU6050) and downloaded the libs from github.

Before I change anything, I wanted to upload the MPU6050_raw to see the readings.

But I receive an "error compiling". Please see the attached screenshot.

Any ideas?

It helps to copy and paste the sketch (as text) inside code tags, and the error messages, inside code tags. Then we can try it ourselves. We aren't going to retype from an image.

Did you restart (close and re-open) the IDE after downloading the library? Where did you put the library?

Hi!

I haven't modified anything in the sketch. It is the example sketch that came with the MPU6050 library.

I added as described in Libraries Guide. And I can see the examples in "File/Examples/MPU6050/MPU6050_raw".So everything looks fine in there...

Yet, here's the sketch:

// I2C device class (I2Cdev) demonstration Arduino sketch for MPU6050 class
// 10/7/2011 by Jeff Rowberg <jeff@rowberg.net>
// Updates should (hopefully) always be available at https://github.com/jrowberg/i2cdevlib
//
// Changelog:
//     2011-10-07 - initial release

Please state where you got "I2Cdev.h" and "MPU6050.h" (links).

How to use this forum

I've got myself a GY-521 (MPU6050) and downloaded the libs from github.

This shouldn't be like extracting teeth. It helps to provide all the information about your sketch and the problem, like where you got your libraries from, as they appear to be part of the problem.

This shouldn't be like extracting teeth.

Sorry.

Libs are from:

I downloaded each of the files and then packed in a zip then used the IDE to install them:
"Sketch / Import Library / Add Library"

I checked that they are extracted from the zip and copied into the Arduino libraries folder which is located at:
"My Documents\Arduino\libraries"

I restarted the IDE.

Now I see the I2Cdev and MPU6050 libraries in the "Sketch / Import Library".

I hope this helps you help me...

I downloaded those libraries. I compiled the code you posted above. I got:

Binary sketch size: 6,286 bytes (of a 32,256 byte maximum)

No errors.

What board are you compiling for, and what version of the IDE do you have?

I think I made a mistake when downloading... I compared the file sizes and they didn't match.

Re-downloaded. Overwritten the files, and it compiles.

Thanks.

FYI, Mega2560 and 1.5.2.
