Arduino IMU Project with Complete Avionics Display for Roll, Pitch and Yaw on a SSD1306 OLED

In this video lesson we wrap up our project to create an Arduino IMU using the GY-87 IMU module, with an MPU6050 chip and a QMC5883L Magnetometer. In this lesson we complete the avionics display, creating an accurate graphical output for Roll, Pitch, and Yaw. This is the schematic we are using for this project:

This schematic shows how to connect the SSD1306 OLED to our IMU Project.

This is the code we develop in the video. Remember, you have to calibrate your sensors, and put your calibration numbers into the code below. I showed you how to do the calibration in THIS LESSON.

For your convenience, this is the code we developed in the video. Remember, you have to edit the program to use the calibration parameters for your IMU module. I showed you how to get those parameters, and calibrate your sensors in THIS LESSON.

Getting Geared Up for the Ultimate GPS Tracker with Raspberry Pi Pico W

GPS Project
Gearing Up for the Ultimate GPS Challenge

Guys in this class we will be building the Ultimate GPS Tracker. This will build on all you learned in our most excellent Raspberry Pi Pico W class, and now we will begin working on a real project. Hopefully most of the gear you will already have from the various kits you already have, but I give amazon links to the gear we will be using in the project. You Will Need:

Portable Arduino Weather Station Project

In this video lesson we show how to build a portable Arduino Weather Station. The station is powered by a battery bank, and data is displayed on the SSD1306 OLED display. The station included the BMP180 pressure sensor for barometric pressure, the DHT 11 for temperature and humidity, and a push button to toggle between modes. The schematic of the circuit is shown below.

When using the breadvolt, or any battery power supply on a breadboard project, do not turn the power supply on while the Arduino is connected to USB, as you could generate voltage conflicts. It is an either or. If the USB is connected, the power supply should be OFF. Or if you are going to connect the USB, first turn off the power supply.

The code developed in the video is included for your convenience below:
