Sending MPU6050 data over serial to Java/C# Program I am using a MPU6050 Accelerometer/Gyro breakout (GY-521) to retrieve data and send it to a java program. I have tried several ways, but I couldn't find a way to send the float values calculated from the Arduino over Serial. Could you please let me know a good way of serial communication with Arduino and a Java Program? Thanks in advance.  

UPDATE:

Thank you for your comments and replies. What I have tried is the I2Cdev library code. I could work with it without any issue. Code is in this link. I also could run the processing code to get a visual output. But the problem I have i that I'm not able to send the accelerometer and gyro data to a Java/C# program and process it from there. I tried sending an array of FIFO bytes from the Arduino and convert it from the C# code and processing code, but it didn't give me correct results. Now what i did was, just to send a string of values and receive it from the C# program. But I don't know whether it's good method. I would be glad if you could help me in this. Thanks again.

Sorry for this for lengthy code and if my question is unclear. It's my first time to work with an IMU. Thank you.
You may find RXTX java library helpful.  

You can format the data (float as calculated at Arduino side) in any mannner that you desire. RXTX library will send the data. It will then up to the Java program (non Arduino side, like PC, etc.) how to interpret the data and extract the values.

Hope this helps
