6 DOF Gyro, Accelerometer IMU - MPU6050
Description
- Tri-Axis accelerometer with a programmable full scale range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g and ±16g
- Combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer
- I2C Digital-output of 6 or 9-axis Motion Fusion data in rotation matrix
- Working Voltage: 3V - 5V
The 6 DOF Gyro, Accelerometer IMU - MPU6050 combine a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer on the same silicon die together with an onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP) capable of processing complex 9-axis Motion Fusion algorithms. The integrated 9-axis Motion Fusion algorithms access external magnetometers or other sensors through an auxiliary master I2C bus, allowing the devices to gather a full set of sensor data without intervention from the system processor.

- Working Voltage: 3 V - 5 V
- I2C Digital output of 6 or 9-axis Motion Fusion data in rotation matrix, quaternion, Euler Angle, or raw data format
- Tri-Axis accelerometer with a programmable full-scale range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g and ±16g
This sensor was very useful for helping me appropriately navigate my robot in a project I was working on. Thanks to the onboard MPU I was able to get the sensor to act as a compass/magnetometer and provide information on the robots orientation, but without having to worry about the motors causing the sensor to malfunction and produce false outputs. Like other reviewers have said, this sensor is well worth the $10 dollars it cost!
I paid $40 for my first MPU 6050 from another vendor. Then I was lucky enough to find this little gem! Advantages: 1) smaller 2) has an LED so you know it's powered 3) costs only ten bucks! 4) pin headers included
Nice product! Powerful IMU
Easy to use. This IMU coupled with Kalman filter is a good way to stabilize an UAV for instance !
Not really easy to master all of its features, but once you have, it proves an incredibly powerful device.
