Using MPU6050 accelerometer/gyroscope module

votes

I'm testing my MPU6050 module with Arduino Mega. I found Jeff Rowberg has written a library for this. I tried with this example provided by him. But the Arduino IDE gives a large number of errors when trying to verify the sketch.

I've already installed Jeffs library. (following image shows the library content)

This is the error I'm getting:

How do I overcome this?

I've been trying very hard to use this device to get acceleration/gyroscope values. But still no success.

EDIT

This is what I get when trying to compile (verify).

Seems like a compiler problem. Can you try that and get back? I've used the mpu6050 and jeff rowberg's code, had lots of problems but not that one... - Steve Heim
@lifesayko Well, as you asked, I've removed the whole library and re-created it from the files here. The same example comes as a library example. I loaded it and tried. But still, the verification fails. I don't know what to do. It says, 'class MPU6050' has no member named 'dmpInitialize'. I've uploaded a screen shot too. Please see in the edited post. Thanks! - Sumudu
Looking at the link you posted there isn't a dmpInitialize, there is an initialize however maybe try that. I'm not familiar with that module but maybe the 'dmp' prefix is some sort of debug version in a different library. Sorry I see the extra version in the .h file, but looks like it depends on particular conditional defines. - PeterJ
Thanks for the suggestion. Just gave a try, its not working either. But I think the original call is right. Jeff himself has written the code. (BTW, dmp is not for debugging, it means Digital Motion Processor) - Sumudu
Okay, seems then like you're missing some DEFs. Basically, Jeff's library has some "add-on" parts which you may or may not need (for example, you can grab all the raw data without the dmp). Make sure you're including all the headers needed, and that you declare the DEFs you need (including MPU6050_6Axis_MotionApps20.h) - Steve Heim

The MPU6050_DMP6 example provided by Jeff works for me. From your compile error, it seems that you've included MPU6050.h, instead of MPU6050_6Axis_MotionApps20.h. Make sure you include the correct one.

If you look at the library code, you'll notice that the .dmp___ methods are not implemented in the MPU6050.cpp file, but in the MPU6050_6Axis_MotionApps20.h file. If this doesn't solve it, post your code.

try putting jeffs i2c .cpp and .h files into the same folder as the mpu6050 library files i found that this then worked for me, sorry if this is a litte late but hopefully helpful :P

I was having the same problem and it turned out I was including both MPU6050.h and MPU6050_6Axis_MotionApps20.h. I commented out MPU6050.h and it now compiles fine. Seems that the former was overriding the latter.

I've solved the compile problem by putting I2Cdev.cpp and I2C.h in the MPU6050 library folder. (Mind: these are the dev files). These are Jeff's libraries and can be found at GitHub
