In this class we will be using the Sunfounder Raspberry Pi Pico W Keppler Kit. It will make things a lot easier if we are working on identical hardware. the link below is to amazon, and is for the identical hardware I will be using in this entire class.

In this video, I will show you how to measure acceleration using the MPU6050 Six Axis IMU chip. I will then show you how using trigonometry will allow you to quantitatively calculate the amount of tilt from the Z axis acceleration reading. I will give an explanation of the math and physics behind problem, and will show you how to incorporate the MPU6050 into your projects. Enjoy!
