Connecting MPU6050 with cayenne

Community Help With My Project Helped
1

hi all!

I am new to IOT, I am doing this DIY project (fall detector) in which i have to connect my (accelerometer+gyroscope) MPU6050 sensor with cayenne so that whenever a fall occurs mpu6050 generates trigger and i get a notification. but the problem is I am unable to find it under listed sensors. I have even tried generating my own generic sensor widget/device using digital/analogue input but seems like i am unable to go to the next steps of adding it. I am using NodeMcu esp8266 12E and mpu6050 only.

Have you got the MPU6050 working with nodemcu without cayenne code? can you share the code you are using for it.

I have used mpu6050 with Arduino Nano and bluetooth module it works fine .

#include <MPU6050.h>

#define CAYENNE_PRINT Serial
#include <CayenneMQTTESP8266.h>
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

#include <Wire.h>

MPU6050 mpu;

boolean freefallDetected = false;

//char token = “”; //fill the token of cayenne
char ssid = “"; //fill with wifi ssid
char pwd[*] = "”; //fill with wifi password
char username = “2d4";
char password[] = "c24d8";
char clientID[] = "******”;

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
Cayenne.begin(username, password, clientID, ssid, pwd);
Serial.println(“Initialize MPU6050”);

while(!mpu.begin(MPU6050_SCALE_2000DPS, MPU6050_RANGE_16G))
{
Serial.println(“Could not find a valid MPU6050 sensor, check wiring!”);
delay(500);
}

mpu.setAccelPowerOnDelay(MPU6050_DELAY_3MS);

mpu.setIntFreeFallEnabled(true);
mpu.setIntZeroMotionEnabled(false);
mpu.setIntMotionEnabled(false);

mpu.setDHPFMode(MPU6050_DHPF_5HZ);

mpu.setFreeFallDetectionThreshold(17);
mpu.setFreeFallDetectionDuration(2);

checkSettings();

attachInterrupt(12, doInt, RISING);
}

void doInt()
{
freefallDetected = true;
}

void checkSettings()
{
Serial.println();

Serial.print(" * Sleep Mode: ");
Serial.println(mpu.getSleepEnabled() ? “Enabled” : “Disabled”);

Serial.print(" * Motion Interrupt: ");
Serial.println(mpu.getIntMotionEnabled() ? “Enabled” : “Disabled”);

Serial.print(" * Zero Motion Interrupt: ");
Serial.println(mpu.getIntZeroMotionEnabled() ? “Enabled” : “Disabled”);

Serial.print(" * Free Fall Interrupt: ");
Serial.println(mpu.getIntFreeFallEnabled() ? “Enabled” : “Disabled”);

Serial.print(" * Free Fal Threshold: ");
Serial.println(mpu.getFreeFallDetectionThreshold());

Serial.print(" * Free FallDuration: ");
Serial.println(mpu.getFreeFallDetectionDuration());

Serial.print(" * Clock Source: ");
switch (mpu.getClockSource())
{
case MPU6050_CLOCK_KEEP_RESET: Serial.println(“Stops the clock and keeps the timing generator in reset”); break;
case MPU6050_CLOCK_EXTERNAL_19MHZ: Serial.println(“PLL with external 19.2MHz reference”); break;

case MPU6050_CLOCK_PLL_YGYRO: Serial.println(“PLL with Y axis gyroscope reference”); break;
case MPU6050_CLOCK_PLL_XGYRO: Serial.println(“PLL with X axis gyroscope reference”); break;
case MPU6050_CLOCK_INTERNAL_8MHZ: Serial.println(“Internal 8MHz oscillator”); break;
}

Serial.print(" * Accelerometer: “);
switch (mpu.getRange())
{
case MPU6050_RANGE_16G: Serial.println(”+/- 16 g"); break;
case MPU6050_RANGE_8G: Serial.println(“+/- 8 g”); break;
case MPU6050_RANGE_4G: Serial.println(“+/- 4 g”); break;
case MPU6050_RANGE_2G: Serial.println(“+/- 2 g”); break;
}

Serial.print(" * Accelerometer offsets: “);
Serial.print(mpu.getAccelOffsetX());
Serial.print(” / “);
Serial.print(mpu.getAccelOffsetY());
Serial.print(” / ");
Serial.println(mpu.getAccelOffsetZ());

Serial.print(" * Accelerometer power delay: ");
switch (mpu.getAccelPowerOnDelay())
{
case MPU6050_DELAY_3MS: Serial.println(“3ms”); break;
case MPU6050_DELAY_2MS: Serial.println(“2ms”); break;
case MPU6050_DELAY_1MS: Serial.println(“1ms”); break;
case MPU6050_NO_DELAY: Serial.println(“0ms”); break;
}

Serial.println();
}

void loop()
{
Cayenne.run();
}

CAYENNE_OUT(V8)
{
Vector rawAccel = mpu.readRawAccel();
Activites act = mpu.readActivites();

if (freefallDetected)
{
Cayenne.virtualWrite(V8, act.isFreeFall); //virtual pin
delay(100);
}
}

what does this line does?

i have taken above code from online source as my coding is not good. but it works fine with nodemcu and MPU6050. I can see data on serial monitor changing. I am unable to add any widget that can read data and send to cayenne. Issue is the code cayenne gives me to burn on my device inorder to create a widget is not working . I am having errors regarding libraries. Whenever I solve one error it gives another . all are regarding libraries of cayenne.

share the error you are getting, will be helpful to solve.

I have downloaded the libraries using arduino .

9

try deleting and adding the library from guthub GitHub - myDevicesIoT/Cayenne-MQTT-Arduino: Cayenne MQTT Arduino Library

10

Same error is popping up.

11

try uploading this code and share the entire error.

try this code.

14

Your code is working now how may I display the data I am getting from my code.

15

Just add the MPU6050 code in the above code.

while changing this:

CAYENNE_OUT(V8)
{
Vector rawAccel = mpu.readRawAccel();
Activites act = mpu.readActivites();

if (freefallDetected)
{
Cayenne.virtualWrite(V8, 1, "digital_sensor", "d"); //virtual pin
delay(100);
}
}

great to hear that, would be great if you can share your project with the community.

It isn’t my project, I am new to IOT so I was doing an already done project to learn things. I can not call it my project but I can share its link.

But believe me it was quite difficult without your guidance. Thanks again.
