Unlock precision motion tracking for your next electronics project with the GY-521 MPU-6050 6-DOF Motion Sensor Module. This compact breakout board is a powerful Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer, giving you a full 6 degrees of freedom (6DOF) in one tiny package.

At its heart is the MPU-6050 chip, which features a built-in 16-bit AD converter for high-resolution data output. This means you get incredibly accurate measurements of both angular velocity (from the gyro) and linear acceleration (from the accelerometer).

It's the perfect sensor for robotics, drones, RC cars, VR/AR, and smart device projects, communicating easily with microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or ESP32 via the standard IIC (I2C) protocol.

🚀 Key Features

• All-in-One 6-DOF Sensor: Integrates a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer on a single chip.
