MPU-6050 6-Axis Gyro Accelerometer Module – I2C Interface

Description

Description

The MPU-6050 6-Axis Gyro Accelerometer Module is a PCB-mounted motion sensing module integrating a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer in a single chip. It features a built-in 16-bit ADC and Digital Motion Processor (DMP) for accurate motion tracking and sensor fusion. The module supports selectable acceleration ranges of 2, 4, 8, and 16 g, and gyroscope ranges of 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 /s. It operates at 35 V and communicates via a simple I2C interface. With compact dimensions of approximately 20 15 mm, it is suitable for robotics, drones, wearable devices, and embedded motion control applications.
