Product Description

The MD-MPU6050-GY521 integrates the InvenSense MPU6050 6-axis motion tracking device on a compact breakout board. The module combines a 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer with an on-board Digital Motion Processor (DMP) capable of processing complex 9-axis sensor fusion algorithms. The I2C interface simplifies integration with Arduino, ESP32, STM32 and other microcontroller platforms. An on-board 3.3V LDO regulator allows the module to be powered from 5V systems while maintaining 3.3V I/O levels.
