3-Axis Digital Accelerometer Gyroscope Sensor

Description

3-Axis Digital Accelerometer & Gyroscope Sensor Module (MPU-6050) Give your projects a flawless sense of balance, motion, and orientation with the 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer and Gyroscope Sensor Module. Driven by the incredibly precise MPU-6050 IC, this absolute powerhouse combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer onto a single silicon die with an onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP). Whether you are stabilizing a DIY drone, building a self-balancing robot, tracking wearable gestures, or creating an RC controller, this module delivers highly accurate, real-time motion tracking data over a simple I 2 C connection. Key Features 6 Degrees of Freedom (6-DoF): Tracks full rotational movement (X, Y, Z gyro) and translational acceleration (X, Y, Z accelerometer) simultaneously, giving your microcontrollers complete spatial awareness. Onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP): Handles complex, fast-paced motion processing algorithms directly on the chip. This frees up your Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi from heavy math lifting, preventing code lag. Adjustable Full-Scale Ranges: Fully programmable sensitivity scales for both sensors, allowing you to optimize accuracy for slow, precise movements or high-speed, high-impact physics. Integrated 16-bit ADC: Features internal 16-bit Analog-to-Digital Converters for each channel. It samples the X, Y, and Z axes simultaneously for incredibly stable, noise-filtered data readouts. Streamlined I 2 C Interface: Communicates using just two data wires (SDA and SCL), making it exceptionally easy to chain together with other sensors on your microcontrollers. Specifications Chipset: MPU-6050 Operating Voltage: 3.0V to 5.0V DC (Onboard low-dropout voltage regulator) Gyroscope Range: ±250, ±500, ±1000, ±2000 ∘ /sec (Programmable) Accelerometer Range: ±2, ±4, ±8, ±16g (Programmable) Communication Protocol: Standard I 2 C (up to 400kHz) Pin Out: VCC, GND, SCL, SDA, XDA, XCL, AD0, INT Module Size: Approx. 20mm×15mm Common Applications Drone & Quadcopter Flight Stabilization: Providing critical tilt and angular velocity adjustments to keep aircraft perfectly level. Self-Balancing Robotics: Giving two-wheeled transport robots or bipedal walkers the real-time telemetry needed to prevent falling over. Smart Game Controllers: Creating gesture-based interfaces or air-mouse pointers that react to physical tilts and waves. Crash & Tilt Alarms: Detecting sudden impacts, drops, orientation flips, or heavy vibrations in security systems and data loggers. Pro-Tip for Builders: Connect the INT (Interrupt) pin to your microcontroller to trigger data reads only when new motion is detected, creating highly efficient, power-saving code structures!
