Re: MPU6050 connect

Nope, I got the modules but I am working on another ESP8266 project right now. I am now less convinced of the plan above. That library has, roughly speaking, two parts. One does direct access to the raw values of the MPU6050. This part should be doable to translate.
But the other part of the library is sheer byte-level magic. They give commands to the DSP of the MPU6050, and get access to the internally smoothed values according to the manufacturer's secret algorithm. I am not up to the task of translating that part.
So I might be better off tying an Arduino Nano clone to the MPU6050, as "translator", or use the Nano as main node and use the ESP8266 only for wifi
