Description
The MPU6050 Sensor integrates a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer on a single chip, providing accurate motion tracking and orientation sensing. It communicates via the I²C interface, making it easy to interface with microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi. Widely used in drones, robotics, wearable devices, and gesture-based applications, the MPU6050 can provide raw accelerometer and gyroscope data or fused data through its onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP).
