The MPU-6050 Module 6 Axis Gyroscope + Accelerometer MotionFusion GY-521 is perfect for your Arduino or Raspberry Pi projects.

This high-performance module accurately detects motion in three dimensions, allowing precise tracking of velocity, rotation and orientation. With its quick and accurate sensory data, you can trust this module to provide reliable data for your project.

The MPU-6050 is the world’s first integrated 6-axis MotionTracking device that combines a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, and a Digital Motion Processor™ (DMP) all in a small package. This advanced technology ensures fast and reliable motion processing while consuming very low power, so you stay connected and in control.

The MPU-6050 features three 16-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) for digitizing the gyroscope outputs and three 16-bit ADCs for digitizing the accelerometer outputs.

Features

Gyroscope Features

The triple-axis MEMS gyroscope in the MPU-6050 includes a wide range of features:

• Digital-output X-, Y-, and Z-Axis angular rate sensors (gyroscopes) with a user-programmable fullscale range of ±250, ±500, ±1000, and ±2000°/sec
• External sync signal connected to the FSYNC pin supports image, video and GPS synchronization
• Integrated 16-bit ADCs enable simultaneous sampling of gyros
• Enhanced bias and sensitivity temperature stability reduce the need for user calibration
• Improved low-frequency noise performance
• Digitally-programmable low-pass filter
• Gyroscope operating current: 3.6mA
• Standby current: 5µA
• Factory-calibrated sensitivity scale factor
• User self-test

Accelerometer Features

The triple-axis MEMS accelerometer in MPU-6050 includes a wide range of features:

• Digital-output triple-axis accelerometer with a programmable full-scale range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g and ±16g
• Integrated 16-bit ADCs enable simultaneous sampling of accelerometers while requiring no external multiplexer
• Accelerometer normal operating current: 500µA
• Low power accelerometer mode current: 10µA at 1.25Hz, 20µA at 5Hz, 60µA at 20Hz, 110µA at 40Hz
• Orientation detection and signalling

Additional Features

The MPU-6050 includes the following additional features:

• 9-Axis MotionFusion by the on-chip Digital Motion Processor (DMP)
• Auxiliary master I2C bus for reading data from external sensors (e.g., magnetometer)
• 3.9mA operating current when all six motion sensing axes and the DMP are enabled
• VDD supply voltage range of 2.375V-3.46V
• Flexible VLOGIC reference voltage supports multiple I2C interface voltages
• Minimal cross-axis sensitivity between the accelerometer and gyroscope axes
• 1024-byte FIFO buffer reduces power consumption by allowing the host processor to read the data in bursts and then go into a low-power mode as the MPU collects more data
• Digital-output temperature sensor
• User-programmable digital filters for gyroscope, accelerometer, and temp sensor
• 10,000 g shock tolerant
• 400kHz Fast Mode I2C for communicating with all registers
