Description Recently I bought two ESP12e, wanted to see how those IoT things work. One thing I know for sure, they don’t tolerate 12V 1A 😉 yep fired one by accident … I left with... Read more
It can be too easy to get stuck overthinking your ideas and letting your gears grind without making any progress. As makers, designers, engineers, hobbyists, etc. it is crucial for us to get... Read more
In this article, we are going to interface the GY-521 accelerometer with Arduino. The GY-521 has an InvenSense MPU6050 chip which contains a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyro meter. Thi... Read more
This sketch shows you how to read the values from the accelerometer. To see it in action, open the Arduino serial monitor on your computer and tilt the board. You’ll see the accelerome... Read more
Thanks to Will Greiman’s Fat16 library for the Arduino, I finally got a useful version of this datalogger working! Here’s the schematic: And here’s the code. The code is hi... Read more
This example simplifies the task of collecting data from the Esplora’s accelerometer and graphing it with your computer. The Esplora sends keypresses to a connected computer about the... Read more
The idea for this project came from one of my favorite ‘ibles: the polargraph. I loved the drawing style and thought how cool would it be to do this on the side of a building? Unfortun... Read more
The Memsic 2125 (datasheet) is a two-axis accelerometer capable of measuring acceleration up to plus or minus 2g. It has a simple digital interface: two pins (one for each axis) emit pulses... Read more
