Newbie Accelerometer Question

Posted by David Abineri on January 25, 2018 at 4:36pm

I am beginning to work with an MPU 6050 accelerometer along with an Atmega 32A. I plan to use I2C in order to communicate between these two devices.

If the 6050 is powered y 3.3V and the Atmega is powered by 5V, am I going to need a level changer on the I2C communication line? I know I can run the Atmega on 3.3V but I am using 5V.

Also, on the CLK and SDA lines I will use pull-up resistors but to which voltage are they pulling up to?

Many thanks for clarifications on these beginner questions.

    Yes you do need to use a level changer on  I2C line. You have to use pull up on 3.3V.
