Right-click on dpinstx86.exe (32 bit Windows) or dpinstamd64.exe (64 bit Windows) and select Run as administrator; Click on Install this driver software anyway at the Windows Security popup as the driver is unsigned; Troubleshooting How do I know if uploads are working? Look at the bottom section of the arduino program. This lets you send commands wirelessly to your Arduino from the computer, either using the serial monitor in the Arduino IDE or your own applications if you want to code your own. For this guide, we’ll show how to turn an LED connected to the Arduino on and off using typed commands from a Windows computer. Set up Arduino System. We need to change a few system settings before we can start programming. All of these can be accessed via VS Code’s interface. Once you have opened up an Arduino.ino file, VS Code reconfigures in an Arduino mode, and gives access to special functionality in its bottom blue margin, as shown in the image below.

In this tutorial you will learn how to visualize the motion of IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensor, 'MPU-6050 [6DOF]' in 3D.

About this project

Before diving into the software part, let's assemble our hardware kits.

What is an MPU-6050 sensorThe MPU-6050 devices combine a3-axis gyroscopeand a3-axis accelerometeron the same silicon die, together with an onboardDigital Motion Processor (DMP), which processes complex 6-axisMotionFusionalgorithms. So, now you will be able to decipher the meaning of 6DOF- 6 degrees of freedom.

These MotionTracking devices are designed for the low power, low cost, and high-performance requirements of smartphones, tablets and wearable sensors.

For the details about the connection schematic and hardware setup, kindly refer to my previous blog.

Now, let's come to the processing software, which will facilitate the 3D visualization of this motion sensor.

Software required:

Considering that you already have installed ArduinoIDE involving two separate IDEs might make you feel a bit confused. Well, there's no need to panic. Follow the steps below and all your doubts will be cleared up!

Processing is quite similar to ArduinoIDE except for a few specialized functions. So, you'll see an influence/similarity in ProcessingIDE.

Figure 1 and Figure 2 will make my statements clear.

So, we see that there's a stunning visual similarity in both these IDEs.Now that you've installed the Processing IDE, you need to download a special library named 'Toxi' for processing purpose. Locating a 'Toxi' file can be very hectic on the world wide web. So, I've made it easier for you by uploading it to mygithub. Click on this link and download the file named “toxiclibs-complete-0020”.Next, extract the folder . Copy the'toxiclibs-complete-0020'folder and paste it under the'libraries'folder of Processing.Cant find 'libraries folder'? then, make one! yeah. if you can't find a 'libraries' folder, make a folder and name it as 'libraries'. Now, paste your 'toxiclibs-complete-0020'folder inside it.Having followed these steps properly, run the Processing IDE. Time to code!In order to visualise the 3D visualization , you need to first upload the Arduino code for MPU-6050 (Extract the .ino file from MPU6050_DMP6.rar folder). After having done so, you need to make certain alterations as below.You need to comment this code which says:

#define OUTPUT_READABLE_YAWPITCHROLL by// #define OUTPUT_READABLE_YAWPITCHROLL

likewise, uncomment the code that says:

//#define OUTPUT_TEAPOT by #define OUTPUT_TEAPOT

Next, open the processing example for the MPU-6050. Go to toolbar, click on File -> Open. And then navigate to the folder where you had installed the MPU-6050 library for Arduino. You can easily locate the processing example : follow the flow sequence: MPU6050 > Examples >MPU6050_DMP6 > Processing > MPUTeapot.As you did in case of ArduinoIDE, likewise in this case, check the serial-port which is defined in it. Now, check the code.You'll see that by default, the line defines it forlinux/macusers as:

String portName = '/dev/ttyUSB1';

You need to change String portName to the port on which your Arduino is connected. Refer to Figure 3.

For windowsusers, comment this code as:

//String portName = '/dev/ttyUSB1';

Likewise, uncomment this code as:

//String portName ='COM15'; by String portName ='COM15';

Replace 'COM15' with the COM port on which your arduino is connected (check this by going into arduino and Tools -> Serial Port).So, finally the setup is complete, now it's just a matter of few minutes!Upload the Arduino code (MPU6050_DMP6) through Arduino.Note:DO NOT OPEN THE SERIAL MONITOR while the process is underway.(Why? because we will visualize the code on ProcessingIDE instead of ArduinoIDE)

Next, run the processing code (MPUTeapot) by pressing the button with 'play' symbol. You will see a small plane like object.Wait for about 10-12 seconds for the MPU-6050 values to get stabilised. After which, you will see the 3D model moving accordingly with the MPU-6050 sensor.Refer to the GIF below .For better understanding go to YouTube
