      Hello all,

      I have a small doubt regarding the raw values given by MPU 6050.
      I am getting 6 raw values from the MPU 6050 sensor!
      I have given a default sensitivity of +/- 2g.
      What exactly each value mean? Is it like, voltage values across each axis or capacitance values or the acceleration values itself.
      But for me they doesn't mean anything. I am getting some values above 1000, some of them in negative and some doesn't go beyond +/- 250.
      So, can you explain me in detail what does those value mean in physical parameters and their units?

      Thank you!!

        Hi @Anudeep ,

        MP66050 is a Gyroscope + Accelerometer + Temperature Sensor Module ,

        3-Axis Gyroscope

        The 3 Axis Gyroscope is used to detect rotational velocity along the X, Y, Z axes as shown in the below figure.

        The full-scale range of output is +/- 250, +/- 500, +/- 1000, +/- 2000 , and that is the angular velocity represented in units of rotations per minute (RPM), or degrees per second (°/s). The three axes of rotation are either referenced as x, y, and z, or roll, pitch, and yaw.

        3-Axis Accelerometer

        Accelerometers are devices that measure acceleration, which is the rate of change of the velocity of an object, it can be used to detect the angle of tilt or inclination along the X, Y and Z axes as shown in below figure.

        They measure in meters per second squared (m/s2) or in G-forces (g). A single G-force for us here on planet Earth is equivalent to 9.8 m/s2, but this does vary slightly with elevation (and will be a different value on different planets due to variations in gravitational pull)

          @salmanfaris Actually, I can't connect my NodeMCU device with the localhost server. I can establish a connection using the test.mosquitto.org server.
          This is my required case: YouTube link

        • @sivanath From your last message looks like the MQTT broker already running on your computer. Could you please try to do a test with nodeRED and see it's working or not.

          @swalahamani I may not be able to come tomorrow. I think we could set up a call. How can I contact you personally?

          Oh okay.

          Please bring your device if you're coming for the upcoming MakerChat 0x13 tomorrow (IST). Either I and @salmanfaris or both of us will be there.

          Or else we can set up a call sometime this weekend or the next week and sort it out.

          Let me know.
