Objective

Due date

Key outcomes

Port MPU 6050 Driver into LOS

Status

DESIGN

 

 Problem Statement

  • There is currently code for using the MPU6050 that is not integrated in LOS

  • The code and header file needs to be added into the LOS Driver folder

  • Code has to be tested with the sensor to debug any issues

 Scope

Current Must Haves:

  • Move existing MPU 6065 code to LOS Drivers (still using HAL API) and debugging any issues

Current Must Haves:

  • Move existing MPU 6065 code to LOS Drivers (still using HAL API) and debugging any issues

Future Expansion:

  • Add functions in LOS Core to abstract away HAL API

Not in scope:

 

Tasks Break Down:

 Timeline

Estimated timeline is ~2 weeks, there is not too much code to write (since the existing MPU 6065 code will not be changed much). Since it’s my first task it might take me a bit longer to try and understand what’s going on.

 Implementation Details

  • Create a directory for MPU 6050 in LOS Driver with header and source file

  • Copy from the MPU 6050 branch the MPU 6050 specific code and place in new header and source files

  • Change include statements to include main.h (instead of directly including stm32 header files)

  • Edit config files in order to test with actual sensor
