“The MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope module is a special type of micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) composed of a built-in 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope. The sensor can measure many parameters, such as acceleration, speed, direction, displacement and many other motion-related parameters. System or equipment.
The MPU6050 also has a dedicated digital motion processor (DMP), which is powerful enough to perform complex calculations independently of the controller. The module also has two auxiliary contacts that can be used to connect to an I2C module, such as a magnetometer. MPU6050 is a small package, but contains many special functions/devices, and the power consumption is very low, which makes its use in commercial equipment more efficient and economical.”
