How to convert the gyroscope readings to Degrees/Second?

[Vickylance]

Sorry If this question is already answered or is way too noob.... I am a novice programmer and I dont really know how to get Degrees/second 

  mpu.getRotation(&gx, &gy, &gz);

  gyroRoll = gx/131.0;
  gyroPitch = gy/131.0;
  gyroYaw = gz/131.0;

Is this correct ? Does my gyroRoll, gyroPitch, gyroYaw give values in degrees/second? I want the values to use in my quadcopter code... Also I didnt change any default sensitivity in my MPU6050. Actually I am using Hextronik Nanowii V01 flight controller which is Arduino Leonardo.

 

Also I got another doubt, Is ± 250 °/s more sensitive to changes and give wider range of raw values and ± 2000 °/s is less sensitive to changes and gives narrow range of raw values???

 

Sorry if these questions are way too noob, I just cant confirm anywhere the above assumptions that I have made.

Hello Vickylance. Please look for the MPU6050 datasheet and read it. There you will find the values needed to convert measures to degrees/second.

Your assumption is partially wrong.

250º/s is more sensitive but has a NARROWER range, only +-250 º/s. 2000º/s is less sensitive but has a WIDER range.

Hi...

I am using I2C library for MPU 6050 to get data of accelerometer and gyros. And i think I2C library has an inbuilt +/- 250 deg/sec for angular velocity. So that means i can detect maximum of 250 deg/s and it will saturate at 250 (in the plot) if my angular velocity is more than 250 deg/s. So how can we change to the +/- 2000 deg/s? Also, is it possible to change only gyro scale and retaining the accelerometer range which is +/- 2g (inbuilt)?

 

Any help is highly appreciated.

 

 

thanks.
