2. First Steps
This library is compatible with the avr, samd, sam, esp8266, esp32, stm32 architectures, so you should be able to use it on the following boards:
- Arduino Classic Family
- Arduino MKR Family
- Arduino Mega Family
- Electronic Cats Bast Family
- Electronic Cats MeowMeow Family
Note: while the library is supposed to compile correctly on these architectures, it might require specific hardware features that may be available only on some boards.
We encourage you to explore the capabilities of our library with various architectures beyond what we have initially tested and documented. If you find that it functions effectively, we would greatly appreciate your collaboration in reporting your findings. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our library and ensure its compatibility with a diverse range of setups. There are two ways you can contribute your insights:
- Issue Reporting: If you encounter any challenges, unexpected behaviors, or bugs while using our library with a different architecture, please open an GitHub issue.
- Pull Request: In case you discover improvements, optimizations, or modifications that enhance the compatibility of our library with a particular architecture, we encourage you to share your work by opening a pull request.
By embracing different architectures and collaborating with us through issue reporting or pull requests, you contribute to the growth and robustness of our library. Together, we can build a more comprehensive and adaptable tool for all users.

After installing the Arduino IDE you should see the next window.
After installing the Arduino IDE, it will be essential to install the library in order to start utilizing the MPU6050. Perform the next steps to install the MPU6050 library.
To do this, it is necessary to move your mouse to the menu and select “Sketch”, select “Include Library” from the list, and click on “Manage Libraries”.
A new window will open, write “MPU6050”.
The library that you have to look for is the one that has to say “by Electronic Cats”, as in the following image.
After finding the library, it is necessary to press the button “Install”.
And that's all there is to it; you already own everything necessary to begin programming using our library.
