MPU6050 Gyroscope/Accelerometer Sensor Module

syMPU6050 is intended towards low cost, low power and high performance demanding wearables, smartphones and tablets.

• It combines a MEMS 3 axis accelerometer and 3 axis gyroscope sensor on the same silicon die to measure acceleration, orientation, velocity, displacement or any other motion-related parameter.
• It also includes a Digital Motion Processor to take the processing load away from the microcontroller thus increasing the accuracy and computational power.
• This IMU6050 sensor also has auxiliary I2C pins which when connected to other sensors like 3 axis Magnetometer will give complete 9 axis Motion Data output.
• It is very easy to interface with popular Microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
• It can be used to control Self Balancing Robots, RC cars, Drones, Quadcopters, Unmanned Vehicles etc.
• The sensor is also refered by its part number GY521 Sensor.
• Specifications of MPU6050: MEMS 3-aixs accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope values combined Power Supply: 3-5V Communication : I2C protocol Built-in 16-bit ADC provides high accuracy Built-in DMP provides high computational power Can be used to interface with other IIC devices like magnetometer Configurable IIC Address In-built Temperature sensor Product To connect it to a microcontroller like Arduino, power the device from the VCC and GND pins and make sure you make the correct I2C connections i.e.
• A4 for SDA and A5 for SCL.
• If you are not using any additional sensors like magnetometer, there is no need to connect XDA and XCL.
• INT pin is used to indicate that the FIFO buffer present is full of data.
• If you are using more than one MPU6050 gyroscope sensor , connect using the AD0 pin.
