It communicates over I2C and includes a Digital Motion Processor for on-chip sensor fusion. Ideal for drones, balance robots, and motion-based projects, this module provides accurate attitude and motion data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\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\u003eAccelerometer Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±2\/±4\/±8\/±16g\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\u003eOperating Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3V to 5V (onboard regulator)\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\u003eData Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16-bit ADC for each axis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBreakout Board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGY-521\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Can Build With This\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kit-self-balancing-robot\"\u003eSelf-balancing robot using PID control\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrone flight controller with attitude stabilization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGesture-recognition wearable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/arduino-motion-data-logger-kit-timestamp-events-and-display-count-on-ole\"\u003eMotion data logger for sports analysis\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MPU6050 works with any microcontroller supporting I2C, such as Arduino Uno, Nano, Mega, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, and STM32. It operates at 3.3V logic but the GY-521 breakout includes a voltage regulator, making it 5V-tolerant. Common libraries like ‘MPU6050.h’ by Jeff Rowberg simplify integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnect VCC to 5V (or 3.3V), GND to ground, SCL to SCL pin (A5 on Uno), and SDA to SDA pin (A4 on Uno). For Arduino, use Wire library with pull-up resistors enabled (typically 4.7kΩ). The module draws under 3.5mA during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\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\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this compatible with Arduino?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the MPU6050 works seamlessly with Arduino boards using the I2C interface.

For pure 3.3V systems, connect VCC to 3.3V and keep logic levels at 3.3V.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes it include a compass\/magnetometer?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, the MPU6050 has only gyroscope and accelerometer. For 9-axis motion tracking, consider the MPU9250 which adds a magnetometer.\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.
