GY-521 MPU-6050 Module – 6-Axis Accelerometer & Gyroscope Sensor for Arduino & Drones in Pakistan

Overview

The GY-521 MPU-6050 is the world’s most popular 6-axis MotionTracking device. It integrates a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer on the same silicon die, along with an onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP). It communicates via the I2C protocol, making it incredibly easy to wire up to an Arduino, ESP32, or STM32. Whether you’re measuring the tilt of a remote-controlled plane or the steps of a DIY pedometer, the MPU-6050 provides stable and precise data.

Key Features 

• 6 Degrees of Freedom (6DOF): Combines 3-axis angular rate (gyro) and 3-axis digital acceleration.

• Onboard DMP: The Digital Motion Processor handles complex “sensor fusion” algorithms, reducing the load on your main microcontroller.

• Built-in Temperature Sensor: Includes an internal temperature sensor for thermal compensation and environmental monitoring.

• Precision I2C Interface: Simple 2-wire connection (SDA/SCL) with a programmable I2C address.

• User-Programmable Ranges: * Gyro: $\pm250, \pm500, \pm1000, \text{ and } \pm2000 \text{°/sec}$.

  • Accelerometer: $\pm2g, \pm4g, \pm8g, \text{ and } \pm16g$
