MPU-6050 Acceleration Gyroscope Sensor

The MPU6050 contains both a 3-Axis Gyroscope and a 3-Axis accelerometer allowing measurements of both independently, but all based around the same axes, thus eliminating the problems of cross-axis errors when using separate devices. This simple module contains everything required to interface to the Arduino and other controllers via I2C (use the Wire Arduino library) and give motion sensing information for 3 axes – X, Y and Z.

Specifications:

• Accelerometer ranges: ±2, ±4, ±8, ±16g
• Gyroscope ranges: ± 250, 500, 1000, 2000 °/s
• Voltage range: 3.3V – 5V (the module include a low drop-out voltage regulator)
