GY-521 MPU6050 Module – Triple Axis Accelerometer And Gyro Module

GY-521 MPU6050 Module – Triple Axis Accelerometer And Gyro Module uses the popular MPU6050 Sensor which includes both a 3 axis accelerometer and a 3 axis gyroscope in a single package. The sensor can be interfaced through a I2C connection which allows an easy and direct interface between the sensor and a micro controller.

The MPU-6000/MPU-6050 family of parts are the world’s first and only 6-axis Motion Tracking devices designed for the low power, low cost, and high performance requirements of smartphones, tablets and wearable sensors.

The 6 Degree of Freedom sensor breakout integrate with the MPU6050 sensor and the low noise 3.3v regulator and pull-up resistors for the I2C bus. So it’s available to directly hook up the sensor with the Arduino processors for your robotics, HCI and wearable projects.

Features:

• Uses the popular MPU6050 IC
• MPU6050 contains a 3 axis Accelerometer and Gyroscope in a single package and simplifies design and usage. It also reduces cross axis alignment issues unlike other sensors with separate accelerometer and gyroscope ICs
• Digital I2C interface to read the output of the sensor
• Input Voltage: 2.3 – 3.4V
• Selectable Solder Jumpers on CLK, FSYNC and AD0
• Tri-Axis angular rate sensor (gyro) with a sensitivity up to 131 LSBs/dps and a full-scale range of ±250, ±500, ±1000, and ±2000dps
• Tri-Axis accelerometer with a programmable full scale range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g and ±16g
• Embedded algorithms for run-time bias and compass calibration. No user intervention required
• Digital-output temperature sensor
• Immersion Gold plating PCB, machine welding process to ensure quality
