Hi, my name is Stephane, 44 yo, and I'm a software engineer. I'm working on Segway clone as a hobby.. I'm facing an issue when I make LCD updates via I2C when DMP is activated. The program run a few seconds then hangs. The same code run well in the MPU6050_RAW, that is why I'm concerned about the fact that the DMP is conflicting. I've tried with pullpups resistors, different LCD libraries, delays, without interuption etc .. and now I'm out of ideas. Here is the code, it's 99% the same as MPU6050_DMP6 + LCD parts in bold Any idea ? Thanks Stephane // I2Cdev and MPU6050 must be installed as libraries, or else the .cpp/.h files // for both classes must be in the include path of your project #include "I2Cdev.h" #include "MPU6050_6Axis_MotionApps20.h" //#include "MPU6050.h" // not necessary if using MotionApps include file #include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h> // Arduino Wire library is required if I2Cdev I2CDEV_ARDUINO_WIRE implementation // is used in I2Cdev.h #if I2CDEV_IMPLEMENTATION == I2CDEV_ARDUINO_WIRE #include "Wire.h" #endif // class default I2C address is 0x68 // specific I2C addresses may be passed as a parameter here // AD0 low = 0x68 (default for SparkFun breakout and InvenSense evaluation board) // AD0 high = 0x69 MPU6050 mpu(0x69); // <-- use for AD0 high LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 2, 1, 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 3, POSITIVE); // Set the LCD I2C address #define OUTPUT_READABLE_YAWPITCHROLL long time10Hz = 0; long currentMillis; #define LED_PIN 13 // (Arduino is 13, Teensy is 11, Teensy++ is 6) bool blinkState = false; // MPU control/status vars bool dmpReady = false; // set true if DMP init was successful uint8_t mpuIntStatus; // holds actual interrupt status byte from MPU uint8_t devStatus; // return status after each device operation (0 = success, !0 = error) uint16_t packetSize; // expected DMP packet size (default is 42 bytes) uint16_t fifoCount; // count of all bytes currently in FIFO uint8_t fifoBuffer[64]; // FIFO storage buffer // orientation/motion vars Quaternion q; // [w, x, y, z] quaternion container VectorInt16 aa; // [x, y, z] accel sensor measurements VectorInt16 aaReal; // [x, y, z] gravity-free accel sensor measurements VectorInt16 aaWorld; // [x, y, z] world-frame accel sensor measurements VectorFloat gravity; // [x, y, z] gravity vector float euler[3]; // [psi, theta, phi] Euler angle container float ypr[3]; // [yaw, pitch, roll] yaw/pitch/roll container and gravity vector // ================================================================ // === INTERRUPT DETECTION ROUTINE === // ================================================================ volatile bool mpuInterrupt = false; // indicates whether MPU interrupt pin has gone high void dmpDataReady() { mpuInterrupt = true; } // ================================================================ // === INITIAL SETUP === // ================================================================ void setup() { // join I2C bus (I2Cdev library doesn't do this automatically) #if I2CDEV_IMPLEMENTATION == I2CDEV_ARDUINO_WIRE Wire.begin(); TWBR = 24; // 400kHz I2C clock (200kHz if CPU is 8MHz) #elif I2CDEV_IMPLEMENTATION == I2CDEV_BUILTIN_FASTWIRE Fastwire::setup(400, true); #endif // initialize serial communication // (115200 chosen because it is required for Teapot Demo output, but it's // really up to you depending on your project) Serial.begin(115200); while (!Serial); // wait for Leonardo enumeration, others continue immediately // NOTE: 8MHz or slower host processors, like the Teensy @ 3.3v or Ardunio // Pro Mini running at 3.3v, cannot handle this baud rate reliably due to // the baud timing being too misaligned with processor ticks.
