MPU6050 Module – Triple Axis Accelerometer And Gyro Module

The MPU6050 is a 6-axis motion tracking device that combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer in a single package. It communicates with microcontrollers using the I2C interface and is widely used for motion sensing applications like drones, robotics, and gaming.

Key Features:

• Gyroscope Range: ±250, ±500, ±1000, ±2000 °/s
• Accelerometer Range: ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, ±16g
• Communication Interface: I2C (default address 0x68, can be changed to 0x69)
• Supply Voltage: 2.375V to 3.46V (Logic: 3.3V, but 5V tolerant)
• Power Consumption: Low power with sleep mode capability
• On-chip Digital Motion Processor (DMP) for advanced motion sensing
• Temperature Sensor included
• FIFO Buffer (1024 bytes) for efficient data handling

Applications:

• Drones & Quadcopters (Flight Stabilization)
• Robotics (Balance and Motion Detection)
• Gaming & VR Motion Control
• Fitness Tracking
• Gesture Recognition

Interfacing with Arduino:

• SDA (Serial Data) → A4 (on Arduino Uno)
• SCL (Serial Clock) → A5 (on Arduino Uno)
• VCC → 3.3V or 5V (depending on module)
• GND → GND
