Has anyone managed to get the RP2040Connect to work with the MPU6050? I have a medical application that currently runs on a Pi Pico and reads out two GY-521/MPU6050 sensors all night.I want to go wireless and the Connect is appealing because of its internal MPU.
I've tested it on a breadboard with no components apart from the processor, the sensor and an LED on one processor pin. It starts out reading the GY-521 OK but after a random time that varies between a few seconds and a couple of minutes it freezes. If I disconnect SDA it comes back to life.
I guess the sensor is holding SDA low, because I see articles about that on the Web, not relating to the Connect though, and not giving a fix.
I've now replaced the Connect by an ESP32-C3 and it works fine. No internal MPU though.
All suggestions welcome. I've already tried changing the I2C clock speed, and moving from Adafruit_MPU6050 to MPU6050_light. Neither fixed it.
