using i2cdevlib without an interrupt

Projects General Guidance
1

Hey Guys,
I have copied the sketch from this link https://github.com/jrowberg/i2cdevlib/blob/master/Arduino/MPU6050/Examples/MPU6050_DMP6/MPU6050_DMP6.ino
and successfully uploaded it to my arduino nano. However, I don't have the interrupt pin attached. Is there a way to run this code without attaching the interrupt pin? Thanks.

No, the 'dmp' code needs the interrupt. The whole code is build around that interrupt.
Perhaps the simple example will work without interrupt, but I'm not sure.

After I hook up the interrupt pin how do I activate it?

If your board is for example the Arduino Uno, you connect the sensor INT to pin 2.
The i2cdevlib + mpu6050 library enables that interrupt. The code is in the library.

The sensor is set to generate interrupts at 100Hz and every time the Arduino gets an interrupt it collects the new data from the sensor.

5

so the code will cause the interrupt between the two pins? I already have something attached to pin 2, can I use another pin?

You can use pin 2 or pin 3.

But if you use pin 3, you have to change the library.
