Description
The GY-521 board carries TDK InvenSense's MPU-6050, which combines an accelerometer and a gyroscope with a 16-bit ADC for each axis. It talks over I2C, so it needs only two data wires to an Arduino, ESP32 or Raspberry Pi.
Features
- 3-axis gyroscope: ±250, ±500, ±1000 or ±2000 °/s
- 3-axis accelerometer: ±2, ±4, ±8 or ±16 g
- 16-bit output, built-in temperature sensor
- Digital Motion Processor (DMP) for on-chip sensor fusion
- I2C address 0x68 (0x69 with AD0 HIGH); on-board 3.3 V regulator – 3.3–5 V supply
How to connect
VCC → 5 V (or 3.3 V), GND → GND, SCL → A5 and SDA → A4 on an UNO (GPIO 22/21 on an ESP32). The INT pin signals when new data is ready.
Package includes
1 × GY-521 module, 1 × straight and 1 × right-angle 8-pin header (not soldered)
