MPU-6050 Triple-Axis Accelerometer & Gyroscope Module

MPU-6050 Triple-Axis Accelerometer Gyroscope Module

The MPU6050 is an IMU (Inertial Estimation Unit) sensor, a portion of the Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) family. It highlights a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope. The MPU-6050 module in addition called a magnetometer sensor.

It can identify acceleration up in three measurements (X, Y, and Z) and also measure angular velocity around those axes. This motion-tracking device is often used in applications such as detecting the orientation of a device, detecting movement, and measuring angular velocity. The Inertial measurement unit sensor contains some additional circuitry for interfacing with a microcontroller or other device.

The MPU6050 offers precise tracking for both quick and gradual movements. It includes a user-programmable gyroscope with a full-scale range of ±250, ±500, ±1000, and ±2000°/sec (DPS). Additionally, it features a user-programmable accelerometer with a full-scale range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, and ±16g.
