Setting up the project


Let's set up the project. To finish this project, you may need the following electronic components. You can see the component name and the link to buy it from the following table:

No

Name

Link

1

Arduino Mega - 2560 with USB cable

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11061

2

MPU - 9250 breakout

You can use any Arduino having I2C communication. You can also use MPU - 6050 /9150, both of which are compatible with this project. A few words about the MPU - 9250 IMU: it is a 9-axis motion tracking device consisting of a gyro, accelerometer, and compass. MPU - 6050/9150/9250 models have an inbuilt Digital Motion Processor (DMP), which can fuse the accelerometer, gyro, and magnetometer values to get accurate 6DOF/9DOF motion components. In this project, we are only taking the yaw and pitch rotation components.
