## Description

The library is made to retrieve accelerometer and gyroscope measurements from the MPU6050. This data is processed using a complementary filter to provide and estimation of tilt angles on X and Y with respect to the horizontal frame. The hypothesis for the validity of these angles are:
* small linear accelerations (the gravity is the dominant one)
* small loop delay between two calls to `update()` so the approximation `angle[t]=angle[t-1]+gyro*dt` is valid
* heading (angle Z) is valid for small X and Y angles

## Documentation

A documentation PDF is provided within the library folder, otherwise get it online at [https://github.com/rfetick/MPU6050_light](https://github.com/rfetick/MPU6050_light). It includes definitions of the functions and gives a minimal example of usage of the code. More examples can be found in the dedicated `examples/` subfolder of the library.
