We covered the Beaglebone Black I2C basics in our last tutorial. This time, we’ll try to communicate with a device through the I2C protocol. This device, the MPU6050, is a gyroscope + accelerometer integrated circuit that is very popular among makers and enthusiasts.

I2C is a popular communications protocol and is used by a lot of sensors and devices. This is why most microcontrollers, including Arduino, PICs, and STM32 have I2C support. In this tutorial, we will look at how to use the I2C protocol on the BBB and create a simple Beaglebone …
