Communicating with the MPU-6050 IMU through I2C
The dataset is the core part of any ML project because it has implications regarding the model's performance. However, recording sensor data is often a challenging task in TinyML since it requires low-level interfacing with the hardware.
In this recipe, we will use the MPU-6050 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to teach the fundamentals behind a common communication protocol for sensors: the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C). By the end of this recipe, we will have an Arduino sketch to read out the MPU-6050 address.
The following Arduino sketch contains the code that will be referred to in this recipe

Getting ready
For this recipe, we need to know what an IMU sensor is and how to retrieve its measurements with the I2C communication protocol.
The IMU sensor is an electronic device...
