MPU6050 | Live graph | Raspberry Pi

Howdy! It's my pleasure to share my another work from my desk. Today I'm going to talk about interesting and important sensor. It's nothing but MPU6050 the combination of Accelerometer + Gyroscope + Temperature in a single board. It basically works with I2C protocol.

Now, what we're going to do is interfacing MPU6050 with the Raspberry Pi and collect the real time data. And we're going to visualize the change in axis in the graph.

Let's get started 💪

I've connected my MPU6050 and RPi with the hookups as mentioned. For visualizing the data I used python in combination with matplotlib.

Working Model

It have lot of application. I look forward to hear it from you people.

A2XWY; A2XFY Cables meaning; XLPE cables advantages over PVC cables

Technical Specification of Aluminum Cables in terms of codes So many times you have seen coding while specifying cables technical such as A2XWY now what does this means. Now there is nomenclature for the same which is used while describing the same. Where A -  Aluminium 2X- XLPE Insulation W – Steel round wire armour F- Steel Strip Armour WW- Double Steel round Armour FF- Double Steel Strip Armour Y- PVC outer Sheath Wa- Non Magnetic round wire Armour Fa- Non Magnetic Strip Armour AW- Aluminum Wire Armour Now As per A2XWY – This describes that it is Aluminum cable, XLPE insulated, With Steel round wire armour and having PVC outer Sheath. This coding is as per IS 7098(Part1):1988. You have also seen that there is coding for copper so there is no coding required in case of copper cables. XLPE cables advantages over PVC cables/ Thermoplastic cables:- 1.       XLPE cables have higher Power rating about 1.2 times PVC cables 2.       XLPE cables have higher short circuit rating about 1.2 ti

Wireless voltmeter using Arduino and RF 433MHz receiver and transmitter

Image
In this project i showed you how to make a wireless voltmeter using arduino and RF 433MHz receiver and transmitter. You can use this code and concept for many other projects, any project which used sensor with analog voltage output to sense temperature, gas leakage or light , etc. For example you can put a LM35 temperature sensor rather than potantiometer, you just have to putting its formula which convert LM35 output pin voltage to exact temperature. You also can make a wireless AC or DC power meter by doing some change in code and hardware (using hall effect current sensor and single phase voltage sensor). This type of RF module has distance range up to 200 meters according to datasheet but when i bought this RF module from Aliexpress its distance rang was very low, but i set its adjustable RF coil very carefully and i get very higher distance rang.(Don't play with RF coil if your module works good), You also have to use a 6 inch antenna to increase distance range to max as possi

1.5v LED flashlight circuit

Image
This circuit is an LED flashlight that can run with 1.5 volt AAA battery. this circuit is easiest for beginners because the coil is available in CFL lamps circuit and don't need to make that. I used it for running 20 white LEDs, you can add more. By 20LEDs it draw about 100 to 200mA current from battery. Minimum voltage that need to run LEDs by this circuit is about 0.9v. I test this circuit with different coils and i find the circuit works perfectly with almost all ferrite coils , so you can make that with any available ferrite coil and maybe give better results. Parts list: White LED(20pcs) Transistor S9012 Transistor S9013 Coil 100uH Capacitor 500pF  Capacitor 220uF 10v Resistor 5.6k Resistor 10k Resistor 100 ohm 1.5v AAA battery The following picture show you the coil that available in each CFL lamp, the big coil  in right side give you better result than that circular small coil and maybe can run more than 100 LEDs easily.
