Maybe you are interested in my Arduino sketch specifically written for the MPU-6000 on the ArduIMU+ V3 board from 3DRobotics Inc. It is attached to this post (v053_MPU6000_DMP6_SPI.ino). Please read the header carefully because it contains a lot of useful information.My sketch is based on Jeff Rowberg's MPU6050_DMP6_I2C sketch which makes use of the Digital Motion Processor to obtain the quaternion values from the MPU, and from there derives roll, pitch and yaw without almost any drift. My sketch is a translation of Jeff's sketch and also uses the DMP, but makes use of the SPI protocol i.s.o. the I2C protocol for transferring data (on ArduIMU+ V3 "MPU-6000 uses SPI for max performance"). My sketch works perfectly with the Teapot demo also from Jeff, I only corrected the axis ((Teapot_ArduIMU_V3.pde - attached). Please let me know if you like it. It took me a little over 100 hours to write and test it.

For the APM with the ATMEGA2560 also be sure the change it to use INT6 in the attach interrupt. It seems to compile just fine that way with the stock Arduino IDE.
// attachInterrupt(interrupt, function, mode) specifies a function to call when an external interrupt occurs
// ArduIMU+ V3 has ATMEGA328 INT0 / D2 pin 32 (input) connected to MPU-6000 INT pin 12 (output) << - Different for the ATMEGA2560
attachInterrupt(6, dmpDataReady, RISING); // the 6 points correctly to INT6 / PE3
// -> if there is an interrupt from MPU-6000 to ATMEGA328, boolean mpuInterrupt will be made true
Psam, I had to change mpuinterrupt to true to get mine to work. I got the same errors until I changed that.
while ((mpuInterrupt == true) && (fifoCount < packetSize))
and then a few lines down from there, it is like this:
Hi Harry and Psam, I am running an ArduIMU+ V3 on an Arduino Uno and seem to be getting the same thing as Psam. I've changed the code you have pointed out above but it unfortunately has not fixed the problem. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Hello Paven,
I don't understand: you say you are running an ArduIMU+ V3 on an Arduino Uno. But these are both hardware boards, and also completely different. You can't run hardware on hardware...
Do you mean to say you are trying to run my code on an Arduino Uno board? If so, how did you connect the MPU-6000 to it? I suppose the MPU-6000 is on a separate break-out board then.
Please provide more information, so that I will be able to help you if I can.
Best regards,
Martin
Hi Martin,
First of all thanks for your code it waa a good start point for me. I have the APM 2.6 and I would like to plot row, pitch and yaw values. I have commented in #define OUTPUT_READABLE_ROLLPITCHYAW. However when i run the sketch and use the serial monitor to view my results it give me the message shown in the word document i have attached. Any suggestions as to why this is? Thank you

Hello Psam,
You have the same issue as Jon-Paul, and I have described the probable solution a few replies above ^^.

Hi Martin,
Came across your post whilst researching ways of integrating the onboard MPU6000 of the APM2.6 into my custom rover firmware.
You have documented the code extremely well, thanks so much for posting. What's your thoughts on possibilities of getting this up and running on the APM 2.6. After changing ChipSelPin1 to 40 (having checked the example MPU6000 sketch in the AP_InitialSensor library) I spun up the example, but get so far as:

Any thoughts on this would be most appreciated, many thanks.
Hello Jon-Paul,
As you might have figured out by now (sorry for the large delay in answering your question), this is most likely because there is no, or no correct, SPI communication between your Arduino processor and the MPU-6000. The code first writes a lot of values over SPI to the MPU-6000 ("writing byte to register (done)" - lines), then starts reading the values back from the MPU and verifies them. The "$$$ dmpMemory: byte verification error" point to a verification failure, so something went wrong in either writing or reading the values to/from the MPU, or both.
In the EAGLE files (schematic and board layout) for the APM 2.6 ( http://3drobotics.com/learn/#APM_26_Autopilot ) I can see that the /CS pin of the MPU-6000 is connected through a voltage level shifter to hardware pin 19 (PB0) of the Atmega2560 Arduino processor. Looking at the pin mapping ( http://arduino.cc/en/Hacking/PinMapping2560 ) you should use ChipSelPin1 = 53 instead of 40.
Best regards,
Martin
Hi Martin,
I have a project with an arduIMU V3 and the aim is the following:
Detect a Full Rotation around Yaw, Yaw45, Pitch, Roll Axis, and standing Flat,
The software should set on the corresponding LED:
No Moves (standing flat) = Yellow
Yaw 360° = Blue
Pitch 360° = Orange
Roll 45 or 315° && Full Yaw Rotation = Green
Roll 360° = Red
Keep any of the detected movement leds ON during 10s
I am very stuck with this project for the following reasons:
-I have tried lots of solutions without finding any that would give me stable results(FreeIMU, DCM, I am now trying to use yours which actually give more stable results)
-The problem is that I cannot find any software that gives me independant results for each axis, If I do a roll or a pitch, yaw always have glitches ( which would be normal for pitch since you invert the board, but it is never predictible) I can send you a copy of the traces I have got for each algorithm if you'd like.
-I don't have much time to dedicate to this project anymore
Would you be interested to finish this project?
I am ready to pay.
Thanks a lot,
Best Regards.

Evan could help me, because the values of my valore with angular velocity are too high for small angles. What do I do?
