Temperature

[wallarug]

I believe the temperature formula should be:

Option for MPU6050

temp = (raw_temperature / 340.0) + 36.53

or Option for MPU6500

temp = (raw_temperature / 333.87) + 21.0

Rather than exiting formula:

temp = (raw_temperature + 12412.0) / 340.0

This is based on the code available here.

I still question if the MPU6050 values are correct. I get approximately 48 degrees C with the IMU sitting on my desk (I am using an MPU6500 which should have the same registers). The ambient temperature is about 20 degrees C.

UPDATE based on datasheet for MPU6050 (Page 30):

Temperature in degrees C = (TEMP_OUT Register Value as a signed quantity)/340 + 36.53

And FYI for MPU6500 (different chip, Page 33):
TEMP_degC = ((TEMP_OUT – RoomTemp_Offset)/Temp_Sensitivity) + 21degC

I've got a sensor on the way. I'm going to work on this once it arrives.
