MPU6050_KALMAN

This demo estimates roll and pitch angles in software without using a DMP.
Estimate roll and pitch using the very famous Kalman Filter.
Since the MPU6050 does not have a magnetic sensor, yaw cannot be estimated.
I used this Kalman Filter by TKJ Electronics.
I used this as a reference.

Hardware requirements

MPU6000/6050/6500/6555 6DoF MotionTracking device.
They have an internal processing function called DMP (Digital Motion Processor).
But this sample doesn't use DMP, just 6DoF data.

Get Euler angles from IMU

cd esp-idf-mpu6050-dmp/MPU6050_KALMAN
idf.py set-target {esp32/esp32s2/esp32s3/esp32c2/esp32c3/esp32c6}
idf.py menuconfig
idf.py flash

Configuration

config-MPU6050_DMP6-1 config-MPU6050_DMP6-2

View Euler angles with built-in web server

ESP32 acts as a web server.
I used this component.
This component can communicate directly with the browser.
Enter the following in the address bar of your web browser.

http:://{IP of ESP32}/
or
http://esp32.local/

View Euler angles using PyTeapot

You can view Euler angles using this tool.
It works as a UDP display server.
This is a great application.
