GY-521 MPU-6050 6-Axis Gyroscope Accelerometer Module Unlock high-performance motion sensing for your projects with the GY-521 module, featuring the MPU-6050, a powerful 6-axis motion tracking device that combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer on a single chip. This compact module is ideal for applications like robotics, drones, gesture-based controls, and wearable tech. The MPU-6050 includes an integrated Digital Motion Processor (DMP), which handles complex motion calculations internally, offloading your microcontroller and improving system efficiency. While the MPU-6050 itself is a 6-axis sensor, it is commonly used with external magnetometers to form a 9-axis MotionFusion system—enabling enhanced orientation tracking and motion analysis. Key Features: MPU-6050 Chip: 3-axis gyroscope 3-axis accelerometer Integrated DMP: Offloads motion processing from the microcontroller Precise 16-bit data output via built-in AD converters Wide measurement ranges: Gyroscope: ±250, ±500, ±1000, ±2000 °/s Accelerometer: ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, ±16g Power Supply: 3V–5V (with onboard low-dropout regulator) Communication: I2C protocol (Standard IIC) Compact PCB design with immersion gold finish and 2.54mm pin pitch for easy prototyping
