MPU-6050 Module GY-521 Module
The MPU6050 is a versatile sensor that has become a favorite among the DIY community for its ease of use and effortless integration into projects. Known for its high accuracy and low power consumption, it is widely used in applications such as controlling quadcopters and building self-balancing robots.
Its user-friendly design makes it especially appealing to hobbyists and enthusiasts. With pre-soldered pins, the MPU6050 is ready to use right out of the box, eliminating the need for soldering. This is a great convenience for those without soldering tools, short on time, or simply not comfortable with soldering. Additionally, the pre-soldered configuration provides a safer option, especially for individuals who want to avoid the risks associated with using a soldering iron, making it ideal for projects involving children.
PIN
- Vcc: This pin is used for Supply Voltage. Its input voltage is +3 to +5V.
- GND: This pin is used for ground.
- SCL: This pin is used for clock pulse for I2C communication.
- SDA: This pin is used for transferring data through I2C communication.
- Auxiliary Serial Data (XDA): It can be used for other interfaced other I2C modules with MPU6050.
- Auxiliary Serial Clock (XCL): It can also be used for other interfaced other I2C modules with MPU6050.
- AD0: If more than one MPU6050 is used for a single MCU, then this pin can be used to vary the address.
- Interrupt (INT): This pin is used to indicate that data is available for MCU to read.
（Note:The Color of Tantalum Capacitor is Random and Does Not Affect the Function）
Features:
- Uses the popular MPU6050 IC
- MPU6050 contains a 3 axis Accelerometer and Gyroscope in a single package and simplifies design and usage. It also reduces cross axis alignment issues unlike other sensors with separate accelerometer and gyroscope ICs
- Digital I2C interface to read the output of the sensor
- Input Voltage: 2.3 – 3.4V
- Selectable Solder Jumpers on CLK, FSYNC and AD0
- Tri-Axis angular rate sensor (gyro) with a sensitivity up to 131 LSBs/dps and a full-scale range of ±250, ±500, ±1000, and ±2000dps
- Tri-Axis accelerometer with a programmable full scale range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g and ±16g
- Embedded algorithms for run-time bias and compass calibration. No user intervention required
- Digital-output temperature sensor
- Immersion Gold plating PCB, machine welding process to ensure quality
