Fall-detection

Arduino
Detect the fall with threshold set between 0x00 and 0xFF being low to high sensitive to fall respectively. That will create and interrupt on the INT pin of the sensor which can trigger the ISR in arduino.
/***************************************************************************
 * 
 * This is an example for the sensor Grove MPU6050. MPU6050 is a six axis
 * Gyroscope and Accelerometer sensor will fall and motion detection algorimthms
 * integrated with it.
 * https://gitlab.com/UJUR007/mpu6050_ind
 * 
 * This is an example code to trigger a hardware interuppt if the fall is detected
 * on the MPU6050 sensoe beyond given thresold.
 * 
 * The example is specifically designed to work on Arduino Uno development board.
 * For other development boards or microcontroller architecture one may need to
 * modify the following code.
 *
