What you’ll learn

In this lesson you will learn how to measure the pitch and roll of the SMARS robot using the MPU-6050 sensor module.

Things’s you’ll needs

Before you begin, you’ll need to make sure you have a couple of things before you start this lesson:

• A SMARS robot
• A USB Cable to connect to your computer
• A Computer that can run the Arduino IDE
• An MPU-6050 module

Preparation

1. Connect the SMARS to the USB cable, and the USB Cable to your computer
2. Launch the Arduino IDE on your computer
3. Create a new Sketch, by clicking the New Sketch button

Lets code!

You can download the code below from GitHub, but its better to type it in yourself line by line, as you will get to understand what each line means.
