How fast we can read data from the sensor #18

Closed nursanamar closed 4 years ago

nursanamar commented 4 years ago

A lot of example that i saw always using the sleep function on each reading, is it possible to not using the sleep function?, and if it is necessary to use, what is the shortest time to sleep?.

BTW, I am using mp6050 with class MPU6050 in imu.py file

The delays are largely to limit the rate at which data scrolls off the screen. The maximum rates that make sense depend on the low pass filter settings you choose. See the docs.

Thanks for the response!

So, by making the filter_range lower give me a lower delay but also increased the noise, right?

peterhinch commented 4 years ago

Yes. You may need to consider the effects of vibration which (depending on application) can be huge.

Thanks for your time I really appreciate it.
