The document describes using an Arduino Micro to read acceleration and gyroscope values from an MPU-6050 sensor module over I2C. It connects the sensor to the Arduino, initializes the sensor library, sets the sensor ranges, and reads the signed 16-bit acceleration and rotation values. It transmits the sensor ID and acceleration/gyroscope values over serial to an openFrameworks application, which splits the received string into numbers and draws a rectangle representing the acceleration value.
