How do you regain full functionality from the MPU6050

I tested your code and now I cant access gyro data when I try to run a basic sketch.

How do you set the register to default?

Wolfgang EwaldSeptember 20, 2024 Very strange, since all registers should be set to default values, when you disconnect the MPU6050 from power supply, and then re-connect. Also, writeByte( MPU6050_ADDRESS, 0x6C, 7); should not have a permanent effect.

What could happen is the following: you upload the sketch which deactivates the gyroscope. Then you upload another sketch (without re-powering in between) which does not change the register 0x6C. In that case, the gyroscope still won’t work. But latest when you then re-power the MPU6050 it should work. Have you tried to re-power after uploading another sketch?

If it still does not work, you can try to change the sketch that de-activated the gyroscope. Change line 109 from

writeByte( MPU6050_ADDRESS, 0x6C, 7);

to:

writeByte( MPU6050_ADDRESS, 0x6C, 0);
