LIFA Mpu-6050 IMU

[yi1993]

Dear All,

I'm trying to read my MPU 6050 (I2C sensor) through LIFA based on the codes posted by Nathan B HERE

However, when i uses to code he uploaded, labview is not picking up any signal at all from my IMU. Regardless of how I move my IMU, it seems to have no effect.

I know for a fact that the arduino code uploaded to my arduino board has 7 columns of data, firstly its the time stamp, followed by x,y,z accel and x,y,z gyro. Could it be this that causes the problem?

Its also worth mentioning that I'm a 3rd year mechanical student so I have 0 knowledge on how things work. I've only started exploring labview and arduino since last week.

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards,
Zhenyi

when you upload the lifa code, close the IDE,

then open up the labview library as you have , then you dont see any values from your IMU , try to press reset botton on Arduino then you can see the signals.

if it didn't help you out, try as:

1-open up your block diagram panel

2-hold the cursor at the left sideof  the  arduino INT block.

3- then find a pink color input named as visa resourse

4- right click and select constant from creat>constant

5-now you should type the port number that your arduino is interfaced (i.g COM11)

6-now in the block diagram panel click on Run

7-if no result, press reset botton on arduino microcontroller (it is next to usb port)
