Arduino Digital Spirit Level Using MPU9250 & OLED

MPU9250 Accelerometer

In this article, I will share the Arduino digital spirit level program code using the MPU9250 and OLED I2C SSD1306 with the u8g2 library. The program code will run by reading the X and Y coordinates from the accelerometer and will display them in the form of coordinate lines.

This is one of the features of the compass that is used to read a flat position. If you want to make your own compass, I have prepared the program code in the article Make a Compass with Arduino and MPU9250.

Before you upload the program code, it would be nice for you to see the wiring between Arduino, MPU-9250, and OLED below.


Wiring

It should be noted that the MPU-9250 uses VCC with a voltage of 3.3V. Do not connect it to 5V !!! because it will damage the MPU9250.

Whereas OLED is fine for 5V, therefore, connect the VCC of OLED to 5V. Next, connect the modules with the same path, namely SDA to SDA and SCL to SCL. Look at the picture below.

Code Program

After the circuit is complete, please copy the following program code and upload it to your Arduino. After that, please take a look at your OLED.

Explanation

In the program code above, there are lines that I need to explain, namely the following line:

if (xAccel > 0) {
    xAccel = f_map(xAccel, 0, 104, 0, 90);
  } else xAccel = f_map(xAccel, -97.0, 0, -90, 0);

  if (yAccel > 0) {
    yAccel = f_map(yAccel, 9.25, 107.86, 0, 90);
  } else yAccel = f_map(yAccel, -92.52, 9.10, -90, 0);

The xAccel or yAccel values based on the library that I use SparkFun MPU-9250, are not the same. For example, when I place the accelerometer parallel to the earth, the reading is 0, but when I turn right 90 degrees to the side, the value is not 90 but 104. Therefore, I need to map this value from 0-140 to 0-90 in order to give the corresponding result, and from 0 to -90.

So, please replace the map value with the value you get.
