GY-521 (MPU-6050) 6-Axis Gyroscope and Accelerometer - I2C Interface, Motion Detection

The GY-521 is a compact module based on the MPU-6050 sensor, which integrates a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer, offering accurate motion tracking and orientation detection. This sensor communicates via the I2C interface, making it easy to integrate with popular microcontroller platforms like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi.

The MPU-6050 on the GY-521 is widely used in robotics, drone stabilization, and wearable motion tracking due to its ability to measure both angular velocity and acceleration simultaneously. It also features a built-in Digital Motion Processor (DMP) that processes complex motion algorithms, reducing the load on the microcontroller. The small form factor and ease of connection make it ideal for a variety of motion-sensing applications.
