Ideal for motion tracking, drone stabilization, and self-balancing robots, it communicates over I2C and includes an onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP) for sensor fusion. This module operates from 3.3V to 5V, making it compatible with most microcontrollers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMPU6050 (3-axis gyro + 3-axis accelerometer)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGyroscope Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±250, ±500, ±1000, ±2000 °\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccelerometer Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±2, ±4, ±8, ±16 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI2C (default address 0x68)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.3V – 5V (onboard regulator)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 mm × 16 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Can Build With This\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kit-self-balancing-robot\"\u003eSelf-balancing two-wheel robot using PID control\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCustom drone flight controller with orientation feedback\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGesture-controlled gamepad or mouse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmartphone-like gimbal stabilizer for action cameras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorks seamlessly with Arduino Uno\/Nano\/Mega, ESP32, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi via I2C. Since the module includes a voltage regulator, it accepts 5V power even though the MPU6050 is a 3.3V device. Libraries like the Adafruit MPU6050 or Jeff Rowberg’s I2Cdevlib simplify integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect VCC to 3.3V or 5V, GND to ground, SCL to your board’s I2C clock pin, and SDA to data. Most modules include pull‑up resistors on SCL\/SDA, but if communication fails, add 4.7kΩ resistors from each I2C line to VCC. Keep wires short to minimize noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this compatible with Arduino?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it works with all Arduino boards that support I2C. Use the Wire library and a community library like MPU6050.h for easy setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the default I2C address, and can it be changed?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe default address is 0x68. Connecting the AD0 pin to 3.3V changes it to 0x69, allowing two MPU6050s on the same bus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I get raw gyro\/accel data or just motion fusion output?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can read raw accelerometer and gyroscope values separately. The onboard DMP can also compute orientation as quaternions or Euler angles, handled by many libraries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"compoden-handoff\" style=\"margin-top:24px;padding:16px;background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #2B4D8F;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#1A3560;\"\u003e📦 Free Setup Handoff Document Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;color:#333;\"\u003eEvery Compoden order includes a free setup handoff document — step-by-step instructions to get your component working within minutes.
