Question

What is the formula for calculating the temperature in degrees celsius from the raw data gathered by the temperature module of the MPU 6050?

(a) Temperature in degrees celsius = ((temperature sensor data)/340 + 36.53) °/c

(b) Temperature in degrees celsius = ((temperature sensor data)/340 + 36) °/c

(c) Temperature in degrees celsius = ((temperature sensor data) + 36.53) °/c

(d) Temperature in degrees celsius = ((temperature sensor data)/340 * 36.53) °/c

I got this question in my homework.

The query is from MPU6050 Sensor Module in section Interfacing of Sensors, Actuators, and Other Modules of Arduino

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) Temperature in degrees celsius = ((temperature sensor data)/340 + 36.53) °/c

Explanation: ((temperature sensor data)/340 + 36.53) °/c gives the correct value of the temperature recorded by the MPU 6050 sensor. This is in the form of a signed int so as to denote negative temperatures too thus giving us the full range.
