GY-521 MPU-6050 6-Axis Accelerometer and Gyroscope Motion Sensor Module (I2C Interface)

Description

🛠️ GY-521 MPU-6050 6-Axis Accelerometer & Gyroscope Sensor Module (I2C Interface)

The GY-521 MPU-6050 module is a powerful and compact motion sensor breakout board designed for use in a wide variety of electronics projects that require motion tracking, tilt sensing, or gesture recognition. It integrates a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope in a single module, making it a complete 6 Degrees of Freedom (6DOF) solution for motion detection. Powered by the highly reliable MPU-6050 chip from InvenSense, this module is a staple for developers, hobbyists, students, and engineers working with embedded systems, robotics, IoT, and wearable devices.

This module communicates via the I2C protocol, allowing it to interface easily with popular development platforms like the Arduino Uno, Raspberry Pi 4, ESP8266/ESP32 boards, and other microcontrollers. Thanks to its onboard voltage regulator, it supports input voltages ranging from 3.3V to 5V, making it versatile for different systems.

One of the standout features of the MPU-6050 is its built-in Digital Motion Processor (DMP), which is capable of performing complex motion fusion algorithms onboard. This reduces the processing load on your main microcontroller and enables smoother and more accurate motion data in real-time applications. This feature is especially useful in drones, self-balancing robots, and gesture-controlled devices.
