MPU-6050 Accelerometer & Gyroscope Sensor Module
The MPU-6050 is a compact and highly accurate 6-axis motion tracking sensor that combines a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope in a single chip. It is widely used in robotics, drones, self-balancing robots, gesture recognition systems, motion sensing applications, and IoT projects. With built-in Digital Motion Processing (DMP) and I2C communication support, the MPU-6050 makes it easy to measure acceleration, angular velocity, tilt, orientation, and movement in real time.
This module is compatible with Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, STM32, and other microcontrollers, making it an excellent choice for beginners and professionals alike.
