The MPU6050 module uses the popular MPU6050 sensor. This sensor contains both a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope in one package. The sensor can be connected via an I2C connection. This allows for a simple and direct interface between the sensor and the microcontroller.
The
MPU6000 / MPU6050 family of components is the world's first and only 6-axis motion tracking device designed to meet the low power, cost, and high performance requirements of smartphones, tablets, and wearable sensors.
The
6 Degree Sensor Breakout is integrated with the MPU6050 sensor, 3.3V low noise regulator, and pull-up resistor for the I2C bus. This allows you to connect the sensor directly to an Arduino processor for robotics, HCI, and wearable projects.
Features of MPU6050 - Triple Axis Gyro Accelerometer Module:
- 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
