€6.99
The GY-521 MPU-6050 is a module that combines a 3-axis gyroscope and accelerometer. This module is commonly used in various electronic projects and robotics applications. The gyroscope measures angular velocity in three dimensions, making it ideal for applications that require precise motion tracking. The accelerometer, on the other hand, measures acceleration in three axes, making it perfect for detecting changes in speed or direction. With its compact size and easy-to-use interface, the GY-521 MPU-6050 offers great flexibility and accuracy. It can be connected to microcontrollers or Arduino boards, allowing users to easily integrate it into their projects. Overall, this module provides reliable and accurate motion sensing capabilities, making it a popular choice among hobbyists and professionals alike.
GY-521 MPU6050 6DOF 3-Axis Gyroscope and Accelerometer Module is a carrier board based on MPU-6050 sensor which contains an accelerometer and a gyroscope. MPU-6050 sensor contains a MEMS accelerometer and a MEMS gyro in a single chip. It is very accurate, as it contains 16-bits analog to digital conversion hardware for each channel. Therefore it captures the x, y, and z channel at the same time. The sensor uses the I2C-bus to interface with microcontrollers.
The MPU-6050 always acts as a slave to the Arduino with the SDA and SCL pins connected to the I2C-bus.
But beside the normal I2C-bus, it has it's own I2C controller to be a master on a second (sub)-I2C-bus. It uses the pins AUX_DA and AUX_CL for that second (sub)-I2C-bus.It can control, for example, a magnetometer. The values of the magnetometer can be passed on to the Arduino.
