Project 4: Sensor Data on Screen

Overview:

Project 4 aims to create an integrated system using ESP32 microcontroller along with the MPU6050 sensor and an ST7725 TFT display. This project focuses on capturing real-time data and displaying it on a TFT display.

Material:

Component	Image
10 DOF IMU Sensor
1.8" TFT LCD Screen
ESP32 Dev Board

Objectives:

• Sensor Data Acquisition: Utilize the MPU6050 to gather real-time accelerometer, gyroscope, and temperature data.
• Data Visualisation: Implement a graphical interface on the ST7735 TFT display to show sensor data.

Hardware Assembly:

Pin Connection:

LCD Pin	Description	To ESP32 Pin
GND	Ground (0V)	GND
VCC_IN	Power	5V
SDA	Serial Data	P21
SCL	Serial Clock	P22

Pseudocode:

	Include necessary libraries for MPU6050 and TFT display
Define TFT display pins
Initialize MPU6050 sensor object
Initialize TFT display object with specified pins
 
Function setup:
	Initialize TFT display with black background, white text color, size 1 text
	Initialize serial communication at 115200 baud rate
	Start MPU6050 sensor
	Configure MPU6050 settings for accelerometer, gyro, and bandwidth
	Wait for 100 milliseconds
 
Function loop:
	Clear the TFT display and reset cursor to top-left
	Declare sensor event variables for acceleration, gyro, and temperature
	Retrieve sensor data from MPU6050
 
	Display "Acceleration" label and values for X, Y, Z on TFT display
	Display a separator line
	Display "Rotation" label and values for X, Y, Z on TFT display
	Display a separator line
	Display "Temperature" label and value on TFT display
	Display a separator line
	Wait for 100 milliseconds
