Inclinometer Project

Overview

The Inclinometer project is a simple Python application using OpenCV to simulate an inclinometer or pitch and roll indicator. It provides a visual representation of the orientation of an object in two dimensions.

Features

• Simulates pitch and roll movements based on user input.
• Interactive controls for adjusting orientation.
• Visual representation with a compass-style display.

MPU6050 Integration

The project includes integration with the MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope sensor through Arduino and Python.

Arduino Code

The Arduino code (imu.ino) reads data from the MPU6050 sensor and communicates the pitch and roll values to the Python script via serial communication. youtube

Python Code

The Python code (test_digi_inclinometer_mpu6050.py) receives data from the Arduino, processes it, and updates the inclinometer display accordingly.
