How to Integrate the MPU6050 With the STM32

 If you’re looking to add motion detection to your projects, the MPU6050 sensor is a great option. When combined with the STM32 Blue Pill, a powerful yet affordable microcontroller, you have a versatile solution for accelerometer and gyroscope-based applications. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the process of connecting the MPU6050 to the STM32 Blue Pill, setting up the Arduino environment, reading raw data from the sensor, and applying a simple gyroscope calibration.

Supplies

ShillehTek Pre-Soldered STM32

ShillehTek MPU6050

ShillehTek Jumper Wires and Breadboard

Hardware Connections

The first step is to connect the MPU6050 to the STM32 Blue Pill. Here’s how to wire them together:

Power Supply:

1. Connect the VCC pin of the MPU6050 to the 3.3V pin on the STM32 Blue Pill.
2. Connect the GND pin of the MPU6050 to the GND pin on the STM32 Blue Pill.

I2C Communication:

1. Connect the SCL pin of the MPU6050 to the PB6 pin on the STM32 Blue Pill (default SCL pin for I2C).
2. Connect the SDA pin of the MPU6050 to the PB7 pin on the STM32 Blue Pill (default SDA pin for I2C).

Install the MPU6050 Library

Go to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries and search for “MPU6050.” Install the library compatible with your setup.
