- So, let's roll up our sleeves, fire up our soldering irons, and embark on this exciting adventure together! Get ready to revolutionize your way to measure angles!
Supplies
Components Required for the Project:
Before we dive into building our angle measurement device, let's take a look at the components we'll need to gather. Here's a list of what you'll required
- 1X Arduino Nano
- 1X IIC/I2C Backlight LCD Display Module For Arduino
- 1X MPU-6050 6DOF 3 Axis Gyro With Accelerometer Sensor Module
- 1X 9V Battery With Connector
- 1X Push Switch
- 1X Rocker Switch
other components required :
- Bread Board (OPTIONAL)
- Jumper Wires
- 3D printer (OPTIONAL...YOU CAN ALSO USE PVC , CARDBOARD , BOX , ETC.)
PERSONALLY I SUGGEST FLYROBO FOR BUYING THIS COMPONENTS AT AFFORDABLE RATES
WIRING THE COMPONENTS
we'll begin by carefully wiring the components together to establish the necessary connections for our angle measurement device. Using jumper wires, we'll create a bridge between the Arduino board and the MPU6050 module, ensuring proper communication and power supply.

Connections:
ARDUINO TO MPU6050
5V - VCC
GND - GND
A5 - SCL
A4 - SDA
ARDUINO TO I2C DISPLAY
5V - VCC
GND - GND
A5 - SCL
A4 - SDA
220OHM RESISTOR
5V - RST
PUSH SWITCH
-VE BATTERY - RST
**Connections are pretty simple you don't have any issues in connections**
Coding Using Arduino IDE
Now that we have our components wired up, it's time to breathe life into our angle measurement device through programming. In this step, we'll write the code that will run on the Arduino board to read data from the MPU6050 sensor and calculate the angle of inclination.
Here is your Arduino code
Using the Arduino IDE, we'll create a new sketch and begin by including the necessary libraries for interfacing with the MPU6050 sensor :
go to sketch>include libraray>manage libraries
download below given libraries before compiling code:
- MPU6050
- liquidcrystal_I2C
- wire
After successful installing libraries select your port and upload your code
Fitting All Components Inside 3D Printed Cabinet
HERE, I design a 3d print box to fit all components in it
If you don't have 3d printer you can also use alternative options like cardboard box, pvc, etc.
First Start of Our Project
this works pretty well and accurate. can be used in industrial as well as small businesses.
I hope you learned something new by making this project. so, That's enough for today guys
I will be back soon with new project ideas that helps you to learn something
HAVE A GREAT DAY MAKERS ;)
