All documentation on how to use the DMP is now freely available from InvenSense here. This means you can either rewrite this library so it works with all aspects of the DMP, or you can use the documentation and sample code written by InvenSense, to make the DMP work without this library. This information has been released for over two years... I hope you finally get to fully appreciate the DMP, instead using this half working library made by hacking an evaluation board. (To the creator: Your work has been to great help for many people, and now finally we get to use the DMP fully. Hadn't this been released, I would have been very grateful for your work.)

Hello! I have installed Jeff Rowberg's i2cdevlib library which I can use for my MPU-6050 to make it interact with Arduino. However, I have an odd problem with one of its functions. It's got a function to turn the accelerometer & gyroscope readings into linear acceleration. This is the definition of the function: uint8_t MPU6050::dmpGetLinearAccel(VectorInt16 *v, VectorInt16 *vRaw, VectorFloat *gravity) { // get rid of the gravity component (+1g = +8192 in standard DMP FIFO packet, sensitivity is 2g) v -> x = vRaw -> x - gravity -> x*8192; v -> y = vRaw -> y - gravity -> y*8192; v -> z = vRaw -> z - gravity -> z*8192; return 0; } However, whenever the function is called in the example code: // display real acceleration, adjusted to remove gravity mpu.dmpGetQuaternion(&q, fifoBuffer); mpu.dmpGetAccel(&aa, fifoBuffer); mpu.dmpGetGravity(&gravity, &q); mpu.dmpGetLinearAccel(&aaReal, &aa, &gravity); Serial.print("areal\t"); Serial.print(aaReal.x); Serial.print("\t"); Serial.print(aaReal.y); Serial.print("\t"); Serial.println(aaReal.z); I get values way off, when I'm not even moving my MPU-6050! These are a few of the values I get: areal -473 423 -425 areal -460 400 -450 areal -471 522 -458 areal -322 276 -582 Do you know how I can fix this? Thanks! -George

Hey all, So I'm connecting my MPU6050 to an Arduino micro running the DMP Example code however, every time it says that the mpu connection fails! I ran the i2c scanner to see what address the MPU6050 was in but it says no devices found. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have the following pins connected: VIN to 5V (also tried 3.3V) GROUND to GROUND SDA to A4 SCL to A5 We've also tried INT to D2. Pictures of my breakout board and overall setup are below. Do you have any idea what could be causing this to go wrong. The light on the MPU lights up so we know that electricity is flowing/it's connecting.
