MPU-6050 6-Axis Gyroscope & Accelerometer Sensor Module (GY-521)
High-precision 6-DOF motion tracking sensor combining 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer with on-board Digital Motion Processor (DMP).
MPU-6050 6-Axis Gyroscope & Accelerometer Sensor Module (GY-521) is an original, pre-tested electronic module designed for Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, robotics, and embedded engineering projects. Includes verified pinout compatibility and nationwide express shipping across Pakistan.
The MPU-6050 (GY-521) is a world-standard 6-axis MotionTracking device that combines a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, and a digital motion processor (DMP) all in a compact breakout board.
Key Engineering Features:
- 6 Degrees of Freedom (6-DOF): Accurate orientation, tilt angle, vibration, and angular velocity tracking.
- Built-in Digital Motion Processor (DMP): Performs complex sensor fusion calculations on-chip, offloading heavy math from your Arduino, ESP32, or STM32.
- Precision 16-bit ADCs: Simultaneous 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion on all channels for jitter-free readings.
- On-board LDO Regulator: Operates smoothly on both 3.3V and 5V DC microcontroller power rails.
Common Engineering & FYP Applications:
- Self-balancing robots and inverted pendulums
- Drone flight controllers and UAV stabilization
- Gesture control glove controllers and gaming inputs
- Industrial vibration monitoring and tilt detection
What's Included in the Package:
- 1x MPU-6050 (GY-521) 6-Axis Sensor Module
- 1x 8-Pin Straight Male Pin Header
- 1x 8-Pin 90-Degree Right-Angle Pin Header
Pinout Interfacing & Testing Guide:
Check the silkscreen pin labels (VCC, GND, SDA/SCL or I/O) and confirm whether your microcontroller uses 3.3V or 5V logic.
Wire the power, ground, and signal pins to your Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi using breadboard jumper wires.
Upload a standard test sketch via Arduino IDE or MicroPython and verify live readings on the Serial Monitor.
