### Examples

#### Raspberry Pi Pico - Micropython

Library: [https://github.com/micropython-IMU/micropython-mpu9x50/blob/master/README\_MPU9150.md](https://github.com/micropython-IMU/micropython-mpu9x50/blob/master/README_MPU9150.md)

 ```
from imu import MPU6050
from time import sleep
from machine import Pin, I2C

import math

i2c = I2C(0, sda=Pin(8), scl=Pin(9), freq=400000)
imu = MPU6050(i2c)

while True:
    ax=round(imu.accel.x,2)
    ay=round(imu.accel.y,2)
    az=round(imu.accel.z,2)
    gx=round(imu.gyro.x)
    gy=round(imu.gyro.y)
    gz=round(imu.gyro.z)
    tem=round(imu.temperature,2)
        
    pitch = math.atan2(ax,az)
    roll = math.atan2(ay,az)
    
    print("Pitch",pitch,"/t","Roll",roll)
    
    # Uncomment line below to show acceleration
#     print("ax",ax,"\t","ay",ay,"\t","az",az)
    
    # Uncomment line below to show acceleration
#     print("gx",gx,"\t","gy",gy,"\t","gz",gz)
